He explained that his breakthrough came through a government contract at the nation’s ports, where he was tasked with eradicating wharf rats using dogs and cats.
According to him, the project eventually brought him about 4 million pounds in profit.
Fayose, who has recently been in the spotlight following a public disagreement with entertainer Paschal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, said the contract was a turning point in his financial journey.
He recounted how he deployed hundreds of dogs alongside cats to secure the ports, ensuring the elimination of the rat infestation before the facilities were handed over to concessionaires.
Isaac Fayose reveals other sources of wealth
Beyond that initial success, Isaac Fayose disclosed that he expanded his wealth through another major contract with a popular telecommunication company, MTN Nigeria.
He said he was responsible for maintaining and securing the company’s base stations across the country, employing guards to protect the installations. He explained that this venture added another significant stream of income to his portfolio.
After returning to Nigeria in 2002, Fayose also invested in agriculture, particularly timber farming.
He purchased thousands of mahogany seedlings, which take years to mature, and showed how the value of each tree has grown substantially over time.
According to him, the timber business remains a strong source of wealth, with profits tied to the long-term growth of the trees he planted years ago.
His account of wealth creation comes amid public curiosity about his financial background, with many Nigerians questioning his source of income.
Fayose maintained that his earnings were the result of contracts, farming, and business ventures, confidently emphasising that even if stripped of current possessions, he could rebuild his fortune through his investments.
