Taiwo Afolabi to add-up five-star Marriott Hotel to his conglomerates 

Kindly Share This Story:

Taiwo Afolabi (MON) was born on the 29th April, 1962 to Chief & Chief (Mrs.) Samson Afolabi. Though born in Ondo State, he is a native of Idokunusi Ijebu in the Ijebu East Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria

Taiwo Olayinka Afolabi a Nigerian business magnate and lawyer and the founder and current C.E.O of SIFAX Group, a conglomerate that deals in Maritime, Aviation, Haulage, Hospitality, Financial Services and Oil and Gas.

The billionaire businessman, lawyer, and CEO of Sifax Group was recently reported his business strides include the multibillion-naira five-star hotel in Ikeja, Lagos, that is close to completion. It would appear that after taking a dominant position in several other areas of the Nigerian economy, Afolabi is preparing to take the hotel service industry by storm.

There are tiers amongst Nigerian businessmen: noisemakers, newcomers, middlemen (by all accounts), company CEOs, industry leaders, and conglomerate champions. Taiwo Afolabi is one of the latter, and his latest business venture, the Marriott Hotel, is proof of this.

It used to be said that Marriott Hotel was a project that Afolabi intended to use to dazzle and intimidate, but never accomplished. The blueprints show a beast of an edifice, 7,000sqm of land housing over 250 luxury rooms on Oba Adejobi and Joel Ogunnaike streets in Ikeja GRA which is a sprawling seven-floor wonder on land that spans the two streets; every conceivable convenience attachment, from fitness spas and gyms to outdoor swimming pools, boardrooms, and executive lounges. Who would have expected that Afolabi would push for quick completion and that the five-star Marriott Hotel will be ready before the end of the first quarter of 2021?

AmehNews recall that several years after he bought a licence to operate the Marriott Hotel franchise locally, Taiwo’s multi-billion Naira 5-star hotel is finally nearing completion. Only minor finishing touches are being made to the humongous structure

Then again, Taiwo Afolabi has demonstrated time and time again that business is to him what breath is to others, and he has inadvertently grown to be a mahatma of the business process. The width and depth of Sifax’s interests testify to Afolabi’s masterful grasp.

To date, Sifax Group is one of the leading companies raking in the goods from the many investments on the sea (port operations, oil, and gas, haulage as logistics, ship chartering, etc), in the air (freight forwarding, airport ground operations, cargo consolidation, etc.), and on land (financial services, hospitality, etc).

With the expected completion of Marriott Hotel sometime in March or April, Afolabi is likely to secure a firm foothold in the hospitality sector, maybe even building a business empire of a similar rank to his Sifax.
