Our Story.

Founded in 1999 by Ayanbamiji Oluwole Idowu, WOLID International Services Ltd. began as a Freight Forwarding Company and evolved into one of Nigeria’s foremost names in shipping, maritime logistics, and customs support. By 2007, WOLID had expanded into full-fledged shipping agency operations, offering shipper’s representation, cargo support, and logistics coordination across major Nigerian ports.

Our journey has been guided by integrity, professionalism, and innovation, values that continue to define every aspect of our service. Over the years, we’ve successfully handled bulk cargo operations across Lagos, Onne, and Warri ports, including fertilizer, rice, corn, bauxite, sulphur, and general cargo.

WOLID is also at the heart of Nigeria’s export drive — serving as a key facilitator of bulk soya bean meal exports through ENL Terminal, making us the only shipping company currently managing bulk cargo exports in Apapa Port.

Beyond maritime services, WOLID has grown into a multi-sector enterprise with strong interests in:

  • Agriculture – Operating over 800 hectares of farmland, producing cashew, palm oil, yam, honey, and cocoa for both local and international markets.
  • Communications – A trade partner with MTN Nigeria, managing over ₦5 billion in monthly turnover through telecom service operations.
  • Quarrying & Haulage – Supplying premium aggregates such as hardcore, stone base, stone dust, and granite materials across Osun and neighboring states, with reliable haulage solutions for on-time delivery.

From the ports to the hinterlands, WOLID’s diverse expertise drives a single mission; to simplify logistics, deliver value, and build trust through performance.
