This conglomerate named after the founder and Chief Executive, Chief (Dr) Alex Chika Okafor KSC, comprises thirteen vibrant companies. A vision and astute entrepreneur and businessman, Chief (Dr) Okafor, fondly called the Eagle by friends, admirers and associates, started out in 1978 as petty trader shuttling between Onitsha, in the south eastern part of Nigeria, Ghana, marketing such simple goods as fishing materials chewing sticks and pepper.

Endowed with a keen eye for business opportunities, Okafor, in 1980, observed the dearth of NACET brand of razor blades in the Nigerian markets, and its preponderance in Ghana. In quick response, he bought up the entire stock of blades in Ghana and shipped same to Nigeria and sold out instantly.
