Obijackson Group harps on inclusive entrepreneurial ethics, puts stakeholders at forefront

Based on its commitment to entrepreneurial pursuits with a humane touch, challenging the prevalent trend of constant trade fluctuations and industrial crises that plague the marine sector, Obijackson Group recently constituted a supervisory board targeted towards continuity and a holistic consideration of the fate of employees and host communities.


This approach from the visionary founder Dr. Ernest Azudialu Obiejesi places internal and external stakeholders at the forefront, a departure from the profit-centric focus seen in many shipping enterprises.

In the intricate world of marine ecology and its undulating economics, *Obijackson Group* emerges as a beacon of transformative leadership, steering its marine ventures with a seasoned supervisory board.

The Obijackson Group’s significant stakes in local and international marine ventures underscore its commitment to fostering a business culture that benefits all stakeholders. Guided by an entrepreneurial ethic that emphasises inclusivity, the group’s marine enterprise stands out for its productivity and richness, prioritizing growth prospects for both internal and external publics.

Rooted in robust corporate governance principles, the Obijackson Group’s culture revolves around integrity, transparency, accountability, innovation, and excellence. With a primary focus on bolstering long-term value and prosperity, the newly formed Marine and Assets Supervisory Board takes center stage.

This supervisory board oversees a portfolio of companies including White Dove Shipping Company Limited, B&Q Dredging Limited, Shipside Drydock Limited, Scorpio Drilling International Limited, Geepic Aluminium Limited, and Obijackson Investment and Properties Limited. Each entity contributes uniquely to the group’s diversified presence in the marine sector.

For instance, White Dove Shipping, established in 2017, aims to become a leading maritime solutions provider in the oil and gas industry, prioritizing safety, reliability, and efficiency. B&Q Dredging, founded in 2015, stands as one of Nigeria’s largest dredging and marine logistics fleet holders, excelling in marine and civil construction works across Africa.

Shipside Drydock operates as a maintenance and repair facility, Scorpio Drilling specializes in providing drilling services globally, and Geepic Aluminium focuses on manufacturing top-quality roofing sheets. Obijackson Investment and Properties Limited, on the other hand, manages the group’s landed properties.

The Marine and Assets Supervisory Board, chaired by Dr. Ernest Azudialu Obiejesi, with esteemed members including Mrs. Nnenna Obiejesi, Mr. Nduka Ikeyi, Mr. Gbenga Olaniyan, Mr. Nnaji Igwe, and Mr. Fabien Monleau, embodies the wealth of experience and expertise steering the group towards sustained success.

As a conglomerate positioned as one of the fastest-growing in sub-Saharan Africa, the Obijackson Group’s diversified interests span Oil and Gas Exploration and Production, Pressure Vessel Fabrication, Power Generation, Dredging and Marine Logistics, Aviation, Civil and Infrastructural Construction, Real Estate, and Telecommunications. Evidently, the group’s strategic approach and commitment to humane corporate values set it on a trajectory of continued growth and positive impact across various sectors.
