In the span of just one year, Adeoba navigated a tripartite career transition, moving from a senior associate at PwC Nigeria to CEO and co-founder at Transtura, and eventually becoming an experienced associate at PwC New York.<\/p>\n<p>Transtura, founded with a strong conviction to address a significant gap in the informal transportation value chain in Lagos State, faced unforeseen challenges that ultimately led to its discontinuation. Adeoba recounts that despite conducting a comprehensive SWOT analysis before the launch, the severity of the threats posed by various regulatory bodies, including NURTW, LASTMA, the Taskforce, and the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation, were underestimated.<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-14500 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/techandbiz.com.ng\/tab-backup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/V-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"354\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techandbiz.com.ng\/tab-backup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/V-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/techandbiz.com.ng\/tab-backup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/V-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techandbiz.com.ng\/tab-backup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/V-510x680.jpg 510w, https:\/\/techandbiz.com.ng\/tab-backup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/V.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The challenges became insurmountable, with over 20% of daily revenue going to NURTW, constant interruptions, impounding of buses with passengers inside, and assaults on drivers. Adeoba highlights the power dynamics at play, noting the NURTW&#8217;s perceived influence and their problematic relationship with the Lagos Government.<\/p>\n<p>Adeoba emphasizes the need for Nigerian leaders to create an environment conducive to the success of young entrepreneurs, asserting that stifling their efforts hampers the country&#8217;s prosperity. Despite facing criticism and predictions of failure, Adeoba encourages fellow entrepreneurs and young individuals to view failure as a stepping stone for future success.<\/p>\n<p>Turning the page on Transtura, Adeoba took the bold step of restarting his career in the U.S. He successfully secured a position at PwC New York, underscoring the importance of resilience in the face of failure.<\/p>\n<p>As the new year begins, Adeoba extends a motivational message, urging individuals not to fear starting anew.
