SAHCOL Boss Bags SUN Biz Award

The Chairman of
Skyway Aviation handling Company Limited (SAHCOL), Dr. Taiwa Afolabi, has been awarded the “SUN Business Man of the year award 2014”.
The award was presented to him at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, in an elaborate ceremony which had in attendance the cream of the private and public sectors.
According to the Sun Board of Editors, Afolabi was picked for the award in recognition of his exceptional performance as one of the pillars on which the nation’s maritime sector stands, and his significant contribution to the aviation and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria.
The Sun further noted that, “having worked for some years to gain the requisite experience, Afolabi’s robust entrepreurship skills propelled him to quit his job and establish his own company, Sifax Nigeria Limited, from next to nothing.
Speaking further about his achievements, the Sun noted, that “the journey was not particularly smooth but you weathered the storm, trod on converting daunting challenges into stepping stones.
Interestingly, your entrepreneurship resilience paid off as Sifax, which morphed from a small company in 1988, has grown into a conglomerate of companies with interest in maritime, aviation, oil and gas, hospitality and logistics.
