Meet Nigerian Who Owns The Biggest Shipping Company In Nigeria

Dr. Taiwo Olayinka Afolabi, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SIFAX Group, a multinational conglomerate, was born in Ondo to the family of Chief & Chief (Mrs.) Samson Afolabi. A native of Idokunusi Ijebu in the Ijebu East Local Government Area of Ogun State, he started his educational pursuit at Ansar Ud Deen Primary School, Ondo and thereafter, proceeded to Baptist Grammar School, Ibadan, where he obtained his West African School Certificate (WASC).

His quest to attain high level of academic excellence and leadership in advocacy led him to the University of Lagos, where he obtained the degree in Law. He became a member of the noble profession when he was called to the Nigerian Bar by the Body of Benchers on Wednesday, November 4, 2009. He later obtained a Masters degree in International Law and Diplomacy from the same university.

He began his professional career with a shipping company, Nigerian Express Agencies Limited, where he distinguished himself and rose to become the Head of Operations. With the zeal of entrepreneurship burning in him, he left the company in 1988 to establish what has now turned to a big conglomerate, SIFAX Group, a business interest with diverse investments in Maritime, Aviation, Haulage, Logistics, Oil & Gas and Hospitality, among others.

From a little beginning, the company, which started as a freight forwarding agency in Lagos, Nigeria, currently operates across the world with presence in the United States, United Kingdom, Ghana, South Africa, Holland, Belgium, Morocco, Spain and Djibouti, among others.

Some of the Group’s subsidiaries include Ports and Cargo Handling Services Limited, concessionaire and operator of the Terminal C, Tin Can Island Ports, Apapa Lagos; SIFAX Off Dock Limited, a bonded terminal operator; SIFAX Stevedoring Limited; SIFAX Oil and Gas Limited; SIFAX Haulage & Logistics Limited; SIFAX Logistics & Marine Services Limited; Skypower Aviation Handling Company Limited, an aviation ground handling company and SIFAX Shipping Limited.

With about three decades of rich entrepreneurial experience, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, through the dint of hardwork, foresight, resilience, vision and knack for excellence, has emerged not only as one of the leading business icons in Nigeria, but also reckoned with across the world.

No doubt his wealth of experience, organizational prudence and business ingenuity have remained invaluable assets to SIFAX Group, which has become a leading player in the Nigerian economy. The company, alongside its subsidiaries, has generated both direct and indirect employment for thousands of eligible Nigerians.

Afolabi is a seasoned maritime consultant and a Fellow of many professional bodies including Nigerian Institute of Financial Management (NIFM), Institute of Freight Forwarders of Nigeria (IFFN) and the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators of Nigeria.

He has attended several maritime and aviation-related trainings both locally and internationally on port operations, aviation ground handling operations and management.

Due to his rich experience, Afolabi is a sought-after speaker and facilitator at various industry conferences and mentoring programmes.

Aside being renowned for his business acumen, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi has also established a reputation as a public-spirited individual. His philanthropic philosophy has driven him to give hope and support to many public causes. The major focus of this philanthropic initiative is education, where many schools, from primary to tertiary level have received immense support and assistance.

Few of these interventions include a 1,000 capacity lecture theatre at Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomosho and an 18-seater Toyota Hiace bus donated to the medical students association of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State.

As a mark of recognition of his outstanding achievements and invaluable contributions to nation building, he has been conferred with various honorary doctorate degrees by four universities, including Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomosho, Oyo state, Cornerstone University and Theological Seminary, Jerusalem, Israel and USA, European-American University, Dominica and Commonwealth University, Belize.

Dr. Taiwo Afolabi is also a recipient of over thirty individual awards from diverse organizations. The latest of these awards being the 2014 Business Person of the Year which was conferred on him by one of Nigeria’s leading newspapers, Daily Sun.

The Federal Government has also recognized the great contributions of this Ogun-state born business icon. He is a recipient of the Member of the Order of Niger (MON).

The accolades are not restricted to Nigeria alone. He is also the Honorary Consul-General of the Republic of Djibouti in Nigeria.

He is a member of the Institute of Directors Nigeria; Ikoyi Club 1938; IBB Golf Club, Abuja; the Building Committee of the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce and Industry, amongst many others.

Dr. Taiwo Afolabi is a sports lover, who enjoys watching and playing football. He is happily married with children.

Nawao,the person who created innoson thread did so without comparing, therefore if you want to blow other people's trumpet do so without involving others.If innoso says he own the biggest plastic company,is non of your business.Abi u start the business with am?.By the way,apart from eleganza pen, i have seen his company and estate and I know they are massive,will i now start saying things about him because i have never seen any of his product in the east.By the way no one is competing with SW, everyone should stay on their lane.Eleganza and innoson are great people,I want to be like them so that people like u can create thread for me.

Tnx

VICTORCIZA:
SO BECAUSE A THREAD WAS CREATED FOR INNOSON PLASTIC, YOU GUYS RUSHED AND CREATED THIS ?
CHAII INFERIORITY COMPLEX IS REAL OOO

I could care less if he created a thread
was lying when he said innoson owns the largest plastic factory in Nigeria
He should have chest beat in silence

If u want to chest beat,chest beat with sense now
I saw the company pictures was posting and it looked like a chicken farm
I've not even posted half of what eleganza is doing talk less of other factories in sw

Gazzy88:
3 airports in ogun state? Even Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria only have one airport. Yes govt ain't rocket science but not the way you sees it. Ever wonder why most governors do the opposite to what their campaign mantra was when finally elected? It's because it's easy to promise heaven and earth while campaigning but realities won't permit you. What you should have advised is a fully-functional farm settlements across the state plus a cargo airport to ship those things abroad. Upgrading of existing schools with a support from private companies that abounds in the state. Building access roads to major towns and cities in ogun state. Building of low cost housing estates just like pa jakande did in Lagos. Declaring a state of emergency in education, health care and sanitation. Those aforementioned are still feasible to all those things you said. Leadership is beyond petty emotion and sentiments.

supercase1:
Every thing is budget my man! !!!! U think it's that easy try yo research the cost of building an airport and then how much of revenue is generated in ogun state and how much goes to workers, salaries,maintancemetc

Goldencheese:
I attended LASU, was the best student in my class and I am not Yoruba. The third best student in my class was from Delta and 1/3 of the class were not Yoruba. They were Igbo and southsouth. LASU is a great place to learn.

1/3 were not yoruba but what about the remaining 2/3
Just tnk ur stars someone like me is not in charge of yoruba land
Don't worry, conservative yorubas are becoming more aware of what's happening in their surrounding

BeautifulMind2:
Geepee is own by Indian company stop disgracing yourself

Lol,there are still those I don't remember
Wasn't it saying saying innoson plastic is the biggest in Nigeria?
Lol
When there are at least ten in sw including multi nationals like geepee
U go dey alright

NwaAmaikpe:




Time changes everything.
Eleganza was the company to beat back in the early 90s when plastic is mentioned.

Geepee was also a company to look out for but they couldn't diversify their plastic products.
Today, it is Innoson blazing the trail.

But I'd always admire Razaq Okoya's ever-young looks which is a result of his good taste in younger women, I also admire his business acumen.

But I pray there will be an Eleganza after when he has gone.

These are the list of eleganza products

Disposables tables chairs wigs suitcases tanks baby diapers soaps shoes bags pens buckets drums
Now how can u be comparing this to innoson
Guy use your brain now
