Business Development Manager
Yesufu Momodu leads Awimax Energy Limited's business development function, responsible for identifying and developing new client relationships, pursuing project opportunities, and growing Awimax's presence across Nigeria's oil and gas sector and into international markets. His commercial acumen and industry network are central to Awimax's business growth strategy.
Yesufu works at the interface between Awimax's technical capabilities and the market, ensuring that potential clients understand what Awimax can offer, and that Awimax's bidding and proposal development process translates the company's EPCIC capabilities into compelling, competitive offers.
Business Development Strategy
Yesufu develops and executes Awimax's business development strategy, targeting opportunities across the company's core service areas — petroleum storage and depot construction, LPG plant construction and upgrade, bitumen handling and metering infrastructure, fire protection systems, and electrical and instrumentation works. He identifies emerging opportunities in Nigeria's downstream oil and gas sector and builds the relationships that position Awimax to compete effectively for new contracts.
His approach to business development emphasises long-term relationship building over transactional deal-making. He invests in understanding clients' strategic objectives and operational challenges, positioning Awimax as a trusted partner rather than simply a contractor — an approach that has been instrumental in Awimax winning repeat business from clients such as MOB Integrated Services and Azman Oil & Gas.
Market Expansion
Yesufu is also at the forefront of Awimax's international expansion efforts, developing opportunities in West Africa and beyond. The successful delivery of a 120MT LPG storage plant in Somalia — Awimax's first international project — has opened the door to further international opportunities, and Yesufu is actively developing these prospects as part of Awimax's growth agenda.
Proposals & Tendering
Yesufu leads Awimax's proposal and tendering process, coordinating inputs from the engineering, operations and commercial teams to produce competitive, technically compelling bids. He ensures that Awimax's proposals clearly communicate the company's technical capabilities, track record and value proposition, and that commercial terms are structured to reflect the mutual benefits of working with Awimax.
