He then served as a youth corps member at Oceanic Bank (now Eco Bank), where he established enduring professional relationships.
Subsequently, he joined Polris Digitech as a field worker and quickly advanced to become one of their top supervisors. In June 2012, he transitioned to International Paints West Africa (IPWA) as a Research and Development Laboratory Technologist. His career trajectory then led him to the oil and gas sector, where he joined Chevron Nigeria Limited, gaining invaluable insights into societal functionality driven by determination.
Currently, Engineer Kolawole holds the position of Depot/Regional Manager at Armstrong Paints. Throughout his career, he has consistently leveraged his roles to provide employment opportunities for youths from Okun Land and facilitate various contracts for his people of Yagba land.
Engineer Kolawole is happily married to a wonderful woman from Yagba and is blessed with three sons.
