Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances – Sun Tzu
The Chairman of SIFAX Group, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, is known as a strategist whose business acumen is indubitable. Many stories about his success abound such that his worst critics acknowledge the abundance of God’s grace and wisdom in him. His resilience and audacity have made him a role model to many aspiring entrepreneurs.
Afolabi evinced his entrepreneurial spirit as a young man when he started his business on a shoestring budget. The mustard seed that was sown deep into the soil alongside his friends back then germinated and grew into an Iroko that not only gives shade to millions of people but also feeds many millions spread across the world.
In the shipping sector, he is a familiar name, notably for his brilliance. Apart from shipping, the Ogun State-born business mogul has his hands in various sectors of the economy, including maritime, hospitality, freight, oil and gas among others.
Many are still in awe at his Marriott Hotel in GRA Ikeja and for many years to come, history will be kind to him for spending more than N10 billion to put Nigeria on the map of Africa’s best and most luxurious hotels and accommodations. The hotel, since it was opened three years ago, has redefined the hospitality industry in Nigeria.
This time around, the man known for his business ingenuity is at it again! Society Watch gathered that Afolabi is set to expand his coast once again. A source revealed to us that the world-class businessman would soon join the long list of aviation owners in the country.
According to the source, he has concluded plans with his partners abroad for the take-off of an aviation business that would not only set a new standard but redefine the sector.
