In this article, Catalystng.com highlights billionaire businessman Kazeem Odeyeyiwa, who emerged as Dangote Cement’s Largest Distributor in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa for 2025 and was rewarded with an LX 700 SUV worth N450million.
Otunba Kazeem Odeyeyiwa, the GMD/CEO of Repton Group, a Nigeria-based conglomerate, achieved the feat for the third consecutive year, having previously won the 2023 and 2024 editions of the annual Dangote Cement Distributors’ Award.
Beyond cement distribution, billionaire Kazeem Odeyeyiwa has interests in several sectors, including oil and gas, hospitality, agriculture, logistics and real estate, reflecting the diverse nature of his business empire.
Repton Group, which operates through subsidiaries such as Kazab Heritage Limited, its distribution arm; Defrost Ventures Limited, for haulage and logistics; Kazab Oil and Gas; Heritage Engineering Services Limited; and Kazab Homes and Properties, its real estate subsidiary, clinched the award through Kazab Heritage Limited.
The company received the recognition at the 2026 Dangote Cement Distributors’ Awards Night held recently in Lagos.
Reacting to the achievement, Otunba Odeyeyiwa Kazeem Olayemi, MD/CEO of Repton Group, expressed appreciation to Aliko Dangote, President and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, as well as the Board and Management of Dangote Cement Plc for recognising the company through what he described as an objective performance-assessment process.
He also appreciated the company’s customers for their continued support, which he identified as a major factor behind the group’s success.
“On behalf of our Board of Directors ably led by my wife, Yeye 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 also commended the staff of Repton Group for their dedication, hard work, result-driven approach and operational ingenuity, which he said had contributed significantly to the company’s continued achievements.
The CEO further appreciated the group’s associates and stakeholders, attributing its successive accomplishments to years of strategic corporate vision, operational innovation, resilience, robust planning and effective teamwork.
Odeyeyiwa also revealed plans to technologically remodel the group’s operations as part of efforts to maintain its position in the industry and strengthen its competitive advantage.
Rather than resting on the company’s achievements, he said the latest recognition would serve as both a challenge and motivation to improve its performance.
“Rather than resting on our laurels, we view this latest achievement as both 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.”
