About us
Our story
In 1999, WOLID International Services Ltd. set out with a simple goal: to bring structure, reliability, and trust to Nigeria's complex shipping and logistics space. Founded by Ayanbamiji Oluwole Idowu, WOLID started as a modest freight forwarding firm defined by high standards, attention to detail, and operational discipline.
As our reputation grew, so did our scope. By 2007, WOLID had expanded into full shipping agency operations, taking on vessel representation, cargo coordination, and end-to-end logistics support across Nigeria's busiest ports. What began as a small operation evolved into a trusted name known for getting vessels in and out efficiently, no matter the complexity.
Over the years, we have successfully handled a diverse range of cargo across major Nigerian ports, facilitating large-scale import and export operations through key terminals and strengthening our position as an experienced and reliable player in Nigeria’s maritime and trade logistics sector.

Beyond the port
We maintain a strong partnership with MTN Nigeria, managing over ₦24 billion in monthly turnover through telecom service operations.
Our quarrying and haulage business supports construction and infrastructure projects, supplying high-quality aggregates across Osun and neighboring states with dependable delivery.
We operate over 800 hectares of farmland, producing cashew, palm oil, yam, honey, and cocoa for local consumption and international markets.

Founder & Managing Director
Leading WOLID International Services Ltd. is Mr. Oluwole Ayanbamiji, an entrepreneur with deep cross-industry experience spanning maritime, agriculture, mining, and communications.
Before establishing WOLID, Mr. Ayanbamiji accumulated over two decades of maritime experience, progressing through operational roles such as tally clerk, clearing clerk, and clearing officer. This practical foundation gives him a clear understanding of port operations, regulatory processes, and the complexities of cargo movement.
