Samuel Kolapo

Samuels’ company Prime Leverage Limited is an agri-business breeding primarily pigs, both as livestock and as breeding stock. However, Samuel wanted to make his business as green as possible without compromising income: ‘I wanted to make my business greener because we need to reduce the impact of human activity on the environment. I also need to impact the lives of people positively,  businesses should not run just on profit making but also on improving the lives of people that one way or the other come across the business.”

A solution was to also breed black soldier flies, as the lava provide healthy and nutritious animal feed increasing sustainability and reducing the cost of buying expensive feed.

Samuel took part in the green and social toolkit pilot supported by Fate Foundation Nigeria

The toolkit help him and his colleagues understand how to improve the business and Samuel is seeing improved profits, and improvements in the productivity of his team

“The support from Fate Foundation has made my business grow and improve astronomically. My business is more structured, more profitable and on the path to grow into becoming a large-scale agri-business that will be able to feed its population not only in Nigeria but across Africa at large.”

Samuel and his team look forward to taking Prime Leverage Limited to new heights and expanding outside of Lagos across Nigeria and Africa.
