•By Oyeniyi Awojoodu
IBADAN – The Nigerian businessman and serial entrepreneur, Oluwaseun Adebola Olatunji, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Group Holdings (Africa), has led an impressive expansion of his multinational business empire.
In a statement, his strategic investments in gold trading and real estate development are making significant waves across Africa and the Gulf states.
With full ownership stakes across all Brookfield Group subsidiaries, Olatunji has solidified his position as a powerful force in various sectors, including mining, civil construction, oil & gas, aviation, hospitality, and agriculture.
His Group’s gold trading operations have facilitated multi-billion-dollar deals across Asia and the Gulf region, anchored by Brookfield Mining Company. This initiative is supported by a syndicated investment loan through Brookfield Homebuilders Ltd, his flagship firm for real estate investment trust (REIT) funding on public-private partnership (PPP) frameworks.
“We are committed to building a legacy of sustainable infrastructure and wealth creation across Africa, while positioning Nigeria and Ghana as attractive destinations for global investment,” Olatunji stated.
Born in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, and with roots in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria, Olatunji pursued his education in the UK. He began his career abroad before returning to Africa to establish Soltun Development Ltd in 2006.
This foundational company would later evolve into the Brookfield Group Holdings (Africa) conglomerate. Olatunji has acquired executive management experience across the United Kingdom, Canada, America, and Qatar.
According to him, Brookfield Group is currently executing major real estate projects in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, with future plans to expand mining operations and establish a gold refinery in West Africa.
“Our ventures are grounded in a customer-first philosophy, ethical business standards, and a long-term commitment to socio-economic development,” he explained.
Olatunji’s contributions to the industry have not gone unnoticed; he has received several prestigious awards, including the “African Business Leader of the Year” at the African Business Awards. His accolades underscored his influence and commitment to excellence in business.
The business magnate, whose net worth is estimated at $310 million in 2025, continues to attract high-level interest from foreign investors looking to partner in Nigeria and Ghana’s mineral and real estate sectors.
“With a portfolio that reflects resilience and strategic foresight, I am rapidly shaping the conversation around private sector-led growth across the continent,” Olatunji concluded.
