He finished his elementary schooling with the Methodists in Lagos and went to Wesley College in Sagamu. Following his elementary schooling, he worked for a short time as an apprentice tailor until landing a job as Christopher Sapara Williams’ clerk. Adedoyin was introduced to numerous Lagos elites by Williams, a trailblazing Nigerian lawyer, and it was because of Williams’s influence on him that he took on the name Christopher William. He went back to Remoland in 1903, where he worked as a farmer, a tailor, and a public letter writer. He worked for Akàrígbò Oyebajo Torungbuwa in 1905 as a clerk.
