Green Africa Airline’s Boss, Babawande Afolabi, the New Champ in Aviation Sector

The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do – Sarah Ban Breathnach.

About one decade ago, when Babawande Afolabi dreamt of establishing an airlines business that would compete favourably with many across the shores of Africa, some of his friends sneered at him, while some others saw it as a mere dream that can never come to pass. But the investment strategist never allowed the attitude of the naysayers to kill his dreams.

Those that know him attest to the fact that once he sets his mind on a project, he pursues it with gusto and will never look back until it’s achieved.

Initially, many were stunned by the idea of a young man in his 30s bursting onto the scene in the tough terrain of airline business.  The self-effacing business mogul has showcased that he is here for serious business having dreamt and worked on this project for a decade.

Today, the Osun State-born investment strategist has registered his name among the top high-flying businessmen in the country.

A source revealed to Society Watch that Green Africa Airlines is currently playing on the lips of aviation experts and analysts for its world-class innovation.  He is being described as the new champ in the Nigerian aviation space.

At the moment, the young and vibrant businessman is putting to good use his international investment financing background to pull resources with Green Africa Airlines which flies to popular local destinations, including Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Akure, Enugu, and Ilorin. 

It was further gathered that his sole objective is to redefine Nigeria’s aviation industry and he wouldn’t stop until he achieves it.

Afolabi’s incursion into the aviation sector has no doubt taken many out of the labour market, with his outfit employing hundreds of staff.

As disclosed, Green Africa is expecting the delivery of more aircraft from Boeing. They are to join the fleet of three up-and-running crafts plying many cities in Nigeria at the moment.
