A Yoruba saying goes thus: A drop of excreta on the tip of a plate of bean soup that is wiped away and the physical eyes cannot see, does not mean it will be wiped off the memory that excreta might have dropped into the soup. This adage appropriately fits the current circumstances concerning Kase Lawal, a very influential Nigerian in the United States of America.
His influence in the USA has seen him befriending politicians in both Democratic and Republican parties, and this has earned him recognition, as reflected in his appointment by President Barack Obama into the White House Advisory Committee on Trade Policy and Negotiations.
Though he was born in Ibadan, Oyo State, as Kase Lukman Lawal, his journey to the USA dates back to the time he spent to obtain his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Texas Southern University, in 1976, after which he had his MBA from Prairie View A&M University, also in Texas, in 1978. He then founded the CAMAC International Corporation, of which he still remains the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). He’s also the Chairman of Allied Energy Corporation in Houston, Texas; and Chairman/Chief Executive Officer (CEO), CAMAC HOLDINGS
