Repton Group, a Nigeria-based conglomerate that emerged as the winner of the 2025 Dangote Cement Award for the Largest Distributor in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, has attributed the award to years of strategic corporate vision.
The company, which has won the award three consecutive times, also attributed the achievement to operational innovation, resilience, robust planning, and effective teamwork. It had clinched the 2023 and 2024 editions of the annual award.
Repton Group is a conglomerate with many subsidiaries, including Kazab Heritage Limited (for distribution), Defrost Ventures Limited (for haulage and logistics), Kazab Oil and Gas, Heritage Engineering Services Limited and Kazab Homes and Properties.
It won the award through Kazab Heritage Limited, the cement distribution subsidiary, at the 2026 Dangote Cement Distributors’ Awards Night in Lagos recently.
Odeyeyiwa Olayemi, MD/CEO of Repton Group, expressed appreciation to Dangote Industries Limited and the entire Board and Management of Dangote Cement Plc, for the award decided through an objective performance-assessment process.
Odeyeyiwa also thanked customers for making the achievement possible. “On behalf of our Board of Directors, ably led by my wife, Erelu Adesola Mutiat Odeyeyiwa, and me, I want to express special appreciation to you, our esteemed customers, for your unwavering loyalty, consistent feedback, and exceptional commitment to our brands over the years.

“You remain our corporate catalysts. Our emergence as the Largest Distributor of Dangote Cement in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa for three consecutive years would not have been possible without your sustained and massive support,” Odeyeyiwa noted.
He equally expressed gratitude to the entire staff for their indefatigability, overwhelming dedication, result-driven approach and operational ingenuity, which mostly account for the latest feat and have continued to drive outstanding achievements.
The CEO, who also thanked all associates and stakeholders, hinted at technological re-modelling of operations at the Group, saying that the Group would continue to strengthen efforts towards sustaining industry leadership and/or maintaining competitive edge.
“Rather than resting on our laurels, we view this latest achievement as a challenge and motivation to further strengthen our performance and continuously re-model our operational strategies. We firmly believe that complacency has no place in sustaining excellence amid intense competition.”
Mutiat, wife of the CEO, attributed the success to God and expressed special appreciation to Dangote Group and all stakeholders. “All glory and adoration to Almighty God. My special appreciation goes to you all, our loyal customers, for your unwavering support over the years.
I also, most sincerely, thank all of you, our staff in Repton Group in general, for your selfless work, dedication and support. Let’s do it again this year. To Dangote Group, we cannot thank you enough,” she said.
