Nosa Ehimwenman is one of the few Nigerians representing the country well in the diaspora. He came from a very humble beginning as he was the son of a taxi driver.

Though he was based in Illinois, he was given a big significant contract to renovate an airport in Chicago. Some of the projects he handled were at the University of Illinois Medical Center and the University of Illinois.

The most inspiring thing about his story is that the airport he renovated was the same place his father used to scout for passengers.

He is the head of BOWA Construction, the building company that led more than 25 subcontractors to change a warehouse into a sterling piece of artwork.

Nosa recalled the words of his father which says: “Be disciplined, work hard, and good things will happen.”

“And yes, my dad picked passengers from this same airport to make sure that we ate. My father always told me; be disciplined, work hard and good things will happen,” he said.
