No one would agree more with that proverb than an innovator and start-up founder like Okechukwu Ofili, whose frustration with the publishing and distribution industry in Nigeria propelled him to create OkadaBooks, an e-publishing platform that is revolutionising book publishing in Nigeria. Okechukwu Ofili (OO): Okada books started when I moved back to Nigeria in 2010. Rather, we aim to discover the next Adiche by providing a simple publishing platform. I want people to say, I become a millionaire by publishing on Okada books and I quit my job at an oil company. For now, Okada Books is trying to become the best digital/e-book firm in Sub-Saharan Africa, that’s our goal.
