The SIFAX Group boss made this known at a facility inspection tour of Ports & Cargo Handling Services Limited, one of the subsidiaries of the company, during the courtesy visit by Mrs Rohey Malick Lowe, first female Mayor of Banjul, capital of Gambia, recently. Lowe’s visit is part of the build up to the SIFAX Group’s multi-million-dollar investment in The Gambia.
According to Afolabi, “Aside, before we ventured into this, I personally embarked on a research to find out about the country. Of all the African countries we have visited to do business recently, The Gambia offers a unique business proposition that seeks to keep investors business running with good returns on investments.
“We want to replicate the successes of our business models here in The Gambia too. Our 30 years’ experience in the maritime industry will be very useful in building the economy of Gambia. Our promise is that the country’s economy will feel our impact as we don’t intend to limit our interventions to the maritime sector alone. We have identified other key areas we will be willing to invest in the nearest future.”
In her response, Rohey Malick Lowe, the visiting Mayor commended Ports & Cargo Handling Services for its giant strides in the Nigeria’s maritime sector.
Lowe, who was obviously impressed by the state-of-the-art facilities at the terminal, urged the company to bring same positive effect to her country.
