During her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Kano State, Dr. Awosika worked as an audit trainee at Akintola Williams & Co. (later Deloitte). Following her service, she joined Alibert Nigeria Ltd., a furniture company, as a showroom manager. In 1989, driven by a desire for independence, she founded Quebees Limited, a furniture manufacturing company, which later evolved into The Chair Centre Limited through a venture merge with SOKOA S.A and Guaranty Trust Bank in 2004.
