Sadiama Corporation to Champion West African Infrastructure Investment at Global Trade Forum in London


Posted September 18, 2026 by inttradecouncil

LONDON, United Kingdom — Baba Mohammed Dapchi, Chairman and CEO of Sadiama Corporation, will join global business leaders in London today for the opening of the International Trade Council Global Convocation & Leadership Forum.
 
Sadiama Corporation has operated within the Nigerian construction sector for over three decades, having been incorporated in 1992. Based in Abuja’s Central Business District, the firm provides essential services ranging from civil engineering and building construction to the procurement of materials for large-scale development projects. As Nigeria continues to experience rapid urbanisation, the company’s role as a general contractor and real estate developer positions it as a significant actor in the national effort to modernise housing and commercial infrastructure.

The company’s participation in this London forum comes at a time when the West African construction market is increasingly seeking international collaboration. For Nigerian firms, the forum serves as a critical platform to interface with global suppliers of advanced construction technologies and heavy machinery. By participating in these sessions, Sadiama Corporation aims to facilitate the flow of technical expertise and high-quality goods into the Nigerian domestic market, ensuring that local projects meet international standards of durability and efficiency.

Beyond procurement, the forum offers Sadiama Corporation the opportunity to advocate for increased foreign direct investment into African real estate. The firm’s leadership intends to highlight the viability of long-term infrastructure projects in Nigeria, particularly those that support urban density and economic diversification. Engaging with trade officials and policymakers allows the company to contribute to broader conversations regarding market access and the standardisation of trade practices across the continent.



The continuity of infrastructure development in West Africa depends heavily on our ability to integrate local expertise with global supply chains. At Sadiama Corporation, we recognise that the complexities of modern civil engineering require more than just domestic resources; they demand a robust network of international partners providing the latest in sustainable materials and technical innovation. Participation in the Global Convocation & Leadership Forum allows us to secure these vital links while demonstrating the maturity and resilience of the Nigerian private sector.

Our focus during these discussions remains on the practicalities of project delivery and the removal of logistical barriers that currently hinder the movement of construction-grade goods. By fostering transparent relationships with international counterparts, we can accelerate the pace of urban development in Abuja and beyond, ensuring that our local projects contribute meaningfully to regional economic stability.

The insights gained during the London forum are expected to inform Sadiama Corporation’s strategic direction as it enters its fourth decade of operation. By aligning its procurement and development strategies with global best practices, the firm seeks to enhance its service delivery in both the residential and commercial sectors, ultimately supporting Nigeria's broader economic objectives and infrastructure resilience.
