Kolawole Adesina: A Well-earned Honour for a Man of Vision

Greatness is like a candle – its light simply cannot be hidden under a bushel. Dr. Kolawole Adesina, Chairman of Finchglow Holdings, has once again proven this to be true as he was recently awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree of Science by the University of Lagos. The recognition, bestowed during the university’s 55th convocation ceremony, is something of a nod to his remarkable contributions to leadership, energy, and infrastructure development.

For those who have followed Adesina’s journey, this honour comes as no surprise. As the Group Managing Director of Sahara Power Group, a company with operations in 42 countries, he has left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s energy sector and beyond. His leadership is defined by innovation, resilience, and an unyielding commitment to progress—qualities that continue to shape the industry and inspire future generations.

Within Finchglow Holdings, Adesina’s influence is unmistakable. The company, a trailblazer in the aviation industry, has carved a niche for itself by offering travel management, cargo services, and specialised training across various economic sectors. With operations spanning nine major strategic locations across Nigeria, Finchglow stands as a shining example of his unwavering pursuit of excellence.

In Lagos, where the award was presented, Adesina stood among other distinguished honourees, but his story carries a unique resonance. His journey adds flavour to a narrative of determination and the boundless potential that lies within those who dare to dream big. Like the eagle that soars effortlessly above the storm, he continues to chart new heights in every endeavour.

The Finchglow Holdings team all believe that this honour is a shared one. So, they raise happy fists at Adesina’s dedication, hard work, and an unshakable belief in the future.

Indeed, the honorary doctorate is a well-earned feather in Adesina’s already distinguished cap. While this recognition is a grand milestone, it is but another chapter in a legacy still being written.
