The management of Repton Group has attributed its double recognition and award of the 2024 National Largest Distributor of Dangote Cement in Nigeria and City People Award of Excellence in the Building Material Sector to its efficient corporate strategy.
The Group, which is a conglomerate, outperformed its peers to clinch both awards. It is the parent company of Kazab Heritage Limited, Defrost Ventures Limited, Continental Vision, Kazab Homes and Properties, Ibile Farm and Kazab Oil and Gas, and won both awards through its cement distribution subsidiary, Kazab Heritage Limited, at the Dangote Cement Customers Awards and Gala Night and City People Awards in Lagos recently.
Odeyeyiwa Olayemi, the Group’s MD/CEO, commended Aliko Dangote, President/Chief Executive, Dangote Group; the entire Board of Dangote Group and particularly the management team of Dangote Cement for the remarkable corporate recognition and for making their business relationship very mutually-beneficial and exciting since inception.

“It would be recalled that on Friday, 26th January, 2024, we won this special award for the first time after having come second for three consecutive years. As a visionary organisation, after clinching the 2023 edition, we decided not to rest on our laurels as we perceived the award as a great positive challenge and motivation for better performance,” Odeyeyiwa said.
He added that this corporate mindset has continued to stimulate Repton Group to persistently multiply its collective efforts and remodel its corporate strategy for superlative performance. “We are, therefore, glad about the eventual accomplishment of our corporate target of retaining this reputable award,” he added.
Odeyeyiwa also expressed special appreciation to all co-distributors for their spirit of business camaraderie and for spurring his business Group to greater performance through healthy competition. “We are all joint-winners of this coveted award,” he enthused.
Adesola Mutiat, the CEO’s wife and director at Repton Group, said the Group has been able to make it double by clinching the two awards in two days as a result of the sustenance of operational efficiency, effective teamwork and determination.
She added that the ability of Repton Group to retain the Dangote Cement award has further reaffirmed its towering leadership and competitive edge in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa as a notable distributor of different brands of cement.

Goke Ilesanmi, CEO, Gokmar Communication Consulting, congratulated the Group on the double feats, attributing the latest achievements to the exceptional leadership acumen of Otunba and Yeye Odeyeyiwa. “Everything rises and falls on leadership.
So, Repton Group’s ability to clinch both the 2024 National Largest Distributor of Dangote Cement in Nigeria Award and City People Award of Excellence in the Building Material Sector is a result of corporate leadership effectiveness of both Otunba and Yeye Otunba Odeyeyiwa as well as vibrancy of teamwork, clarity of corporate vision and potency of operational strategy,” Ilesanmi said.
According to him, Oyeyeyiwa is very encyclopedic when it comes to management, and so is his wife, the director. He is not resting on his laurels as he is currently undergoing a Doctorate of Business Administration Programme at the California Intercontinental University, USA, despite holding an MBA Degree from the Business School of the Netherlands and another MBA degree in General Management from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, among many other management qualifications.
