SIFAX Group has launched the 2026 business year with a bold declaration of intent, unveiling a growth plan centered on innovation, technology adoption, and regional expansion across West Africa.
The Group’s Chairman, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, announced the strategic priorities in a New Year message to employees, partners, and stakeholders, reflecting on the company’s strong performance in 2025 while outlining the roadmap for the year ahead.
According to Afolabi, the 2026 strategy is anchored on “Growth through Innovation,” with a renewed focus on operational excellence, sustainability, cross-subsidiary collaboration, and customer-centric service delivery. The Group is positioning itself to respond proactively to evolving industry dynamics and emerging opportunities across its diverse business portfolio.
“Our priorities include advancing technological integration across our logistics and maritime operations, expanding the use of cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions, and deepening our presence within the West African sub-region, particularly through our financial services businesses,” Afolabi stated. “Above all, we remain steadfast in our mission to become Africa’s global conglomerate: trusted, resilient, ethical, and impactful.”
The innovation-led agenda is also designed to bolster the Group’s regional expansion strategy. By leveraging technology and operational excellence, SIFAX aims to consolidate its footprint in West Africa while scaling its financial services offerings.
Afolabi emphasized that the outlook for 2026 builds on significant achievements recorded in 2025, despite economic pressures, regulatory shifts, and global uncertainties. Among the highlights, Skyway Aviation Handling Company (SAHCO), a subsidiary of SIFAX, posted a remarkable 155.45 per cent profit growth in the first half of the year and secured strategic handling contracts with international carriers, including Ethiopian Airlines and Air Tanzania.
The Group’s leadership signaled that technology adoption, operational efficiency, and sustainable practices would remain central to its 2026 objectives, driving growth while enhancing service delivery across its businesses.
