In the minds of his fans; the name Prince Samuel Adedoyin evokes success, affluence, power, compassion and fellow-feeling among others. The founder and chairman of Doyin Group —a wholly-owned indigenous conglomerate with solid imprints in the areas of manufacturing, agriculture, hospitality and real estate—is a true definition of a role model. From small beginnings, this great achiever has soared higher on the wings of his brilliance and business acumen to become a renowned industrialist. The business guru achieved this through hard work, integrity, self-discipline and accountability. All his life, Adedoyin has been prodded by the desire to leave his imprints on the sands of time. The billionaire magnate has not only achieved that within the business ecosystem, he has also engraved his name in the hearts of many with his magnanimity. But the man fondly called ‘Prince of Commerce’ is usually driven by an abiding quest to change the lives of his compatriots for the better. He has invested heavily in the future of many students in his home State, Kwara. Today, some of his beneficiaries have become important personalities in their respective fields. But it’s not all about a ‘home affair’, as the dark-skinned Adedoyin has also extended his good deeds beyond his home state.
Spotlight gathered that the billionaire has also invested billions of naira in other states across the country, including his donation of a huge edifice to the Lagos State University(LASU), for the advancement of Information Computer Technology. As subtle as most of his altruistic gestures, many haven’t gone unnoticed with doses of praises and recognitions trailing his large heart. Recently, the Senate and management of the Trinity University, Lagos beckoned on the amiable elder business leader to be the institution’s pioneer Chancellor. This was done, according to a source, for Adedoyin’s exemplary achievements and ability to bring about positive social transformation in the society. He has since assumed office following his investiture at the recent maiden convocation ceremony of the five-year-old university.
