It is another WORLD YEYE ADESOLA ODEYEYIWA DAY, the day set aside to celebrate an astute and visionary business tycoon known as YEYE ERELU ADESOLA MUTIAT ODEYEYIWA, who was born on June 25 over five decades ago.
Yeye Adesola Odeyeyiwa is an excellent and rare epitome of great industry, integrity and dignity. What’s more, she is a woman of total simplicity and humility much admired by many people. This Executive Director of REPTON GROUP with outstanding leadership ability is an exemplary embodiment of intelligence, excellence, diligence, resilience and elegance.
She is a rare goal-getter endowed with great thirst for superlative achievements, people development and societal transformation. Through her entrepreneurial ingenuity, remarkable corporate leadership skills and innovative ideas, she has been able to successfully manage REPTON GROUP with her visionary husband, Otunba Odeyeyiwa Kazeem Olayemi, FCA, GMD/CEO of the Group, to achieve outstanding business success.
For instance, in January this year, the Group, with subsidiaries such as Kazab Heritage Limited (for distribution); Defrost Ventures Limited (for haulage and logistics); Kazab Oil and Gas; Heritage Engineering Services Limited (for top-notch engineering services), and Kazab Homes and Properties (for construction/real estate development), won the 2025 Dangote Cement Award of the Largest Distributor in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, through its cement distribution subsidiary, that is, Kazab Heritage Limited.
Also, the Group clinched both the award of 2024 National Largest Distributor of Dangote Cement in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, and City People Award of Excellence in the Building Material Sector. Specifically, the Group won both awards through its cement distribution subsidiary, Kazab Heritage Limited, at the Dangote Cement Customers Awards and Gala Night on Tuesday, May 27, 2025 and City People Awards on Sunday, May 25, 2025 respectively in Lagos.
Earlier in 2024, Repton Group first emerged as the 2023 National Largest Distributor of Dangote Cement in Nigeria after having come second consecutively for three years, through the same superlative subsidiary.
It is noteworthy that Yeye Adesola Odeyeyiwa is also the MD/CEO, A&T Ventures, a flourishing company reputable for being the major distributor of Coca-Cola and Seven Up beverages in the South Western Part of Nigeria.
Yeye Adesola Odeyeyiwa, a Theatre Arts graduate from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State is also a trained Journalist with an Ordinary National Diploma in Mass Communication. She has attended several advanced business management programmes among others.
