Overview
With the sure-footed imprints of Dr. Taiwo Afolabi in every sector of the logistics business, the trained lawyer-turned-magnate is quietly redrawing the map of Nigeria’s trade and transport economy.
Since 1988, when he floated SIFAX as a modest freight forwarding company in Lagos, with a focus on clearing, haulage and warehousing, Afolabi has expanded to become a major force in Nigeria’s logistics ecosystem.
With the benefit of self-development, Afolabi understood early that the logistics business is not just about movement, but about systems. And over time, those systems have multiplied as SIFAX evolved strategically into a multimodal conglomerate with imprints in full maritime services, aviation, energy, hospitality and financial services.
The conglomerate has operations spanning several countries, from Nigeria to several African countries, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the US.
