Dollar Construction Boss, Idowu Lamidi Bags Prestigious NUJ Award

Not many people can boast of building more than just structures, they build legacies. For Idowu Lamidi, the charismatic CEO of Dollar Construction Limited, every brick laid tells a story of vision, resilience, and impact.

This remarkable journey has earned him the prestigious Excellence Award from the Oyo State chapter of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), a recognition reserved for those who reshape society with their innovation and leadership.

Lamidi, fondly called “Dollar” in business circles, has not only carved a niche in Nigeria’s construction industry but also emerged as a beacon of hope through his philanthropic endeavors. Under his leadership, Dollar Construction has executed transformative projects across Oyo State and beyond, from roads and bridges to public buildings that drive development.

The NUJ described Lamidi’s selection as a testament to his extraordinary contributions to nation-building and unwavering support for media freedom. According to the union, the award celebrates his innovative spirit and commitment to uplifting communities.

“Idowu Lamidi’s work goes beyond the blueprints and the concrete,” said the NUJ State Chairman, Comrade Ademola Babalola.

“He is a nation builder in every sense, contributing to infrastructure and societal growth, while also standing as a supporter of press freedom and accountability.”

Beyond the glitz of construction, Lamidi’s philanthropy has touched countless lives. Through his Dollar Foundation, he has provided scholarships for underprivileged students, supported healthcare initiatives, and distributed relief materials to communities in need. His foundation’s impact resonates deeply in Oyo State, where many see him as a pillar of support during challenging times.

Lamidi’s rise from a young, ambitious entrepreneur to a powerhouse in Nigeria’s construction sector is an inspiring tale. His company is known for pioneering sustainable building practices, ensuring that development does not come at the cost of the environment. Dollar Construction’s track record of delivering world-class infrastructure projects has made it a trusted name both in government and private sectors.

The NUJ Excellence Award will be presented during the NUJ week on December 20, 2024 in Ibadan. The event promises to be a gathering of the nation’s finest, media executives, political figures, and industry leaders who are all coming together to honor excellence.

Speaking ahead of the ceremony, Lamidi expressed his gratitude by saying, “This recognition by the NUJ is truly humbling. It is a reminder that the work we do at Dollar Construction matters, not just in shaping cities but in transforming lives,” he said.

As the countdown to the awards night begins, all eyes are on Idowu Lamidi, a man whose vision, resilience, and generosity continue to leave an indelible mark on Nigeria.
