When Sir David Chukwudozie went into business in 1982 as a trader, he had at the back of his mind to get to a point where he would be a big time manufacturer. Through a dint of hard work, resilience and dedication, his company, Dozzy Group, which started as an indigenous company, metamorphosed into a conglomerate, which is today involved in manufacturing.

Dr. Chukwudozie’s quest for success in business took him to China, Hong Kong and Japan, among others, from where he imported goods and merchandise. He forayed into the oil and gas sector, establishing Dozzy Oil and Gas Limited in 1994. A few years after, he berthed at the thing that makes him happier: manufacturing, setting up Speciality Oil Company Nigeria Limited, Dozzy Plastics Industries Limited, Dozzy Guttroff Gas Limited, Dozztephan Industries Limited.
