About us
Fifteen years of solving real problems
Every MSM business started the same way: a gap in the market, a higher standard, and a partner we would not let down.
MSM Group is a Nigerian conglomerate founded in 2011 by Muazzam Mairawani. It began by supplying premium fertilizer to industrial farms and has grown into oil and gas, cement, power, shipping, agriculture, manufacturing and data, with offices in Abuja, Lagos, Nairobi, New Jersey and Dubai.
The mission is in the name: bringing excellence to the globe. In practice that means entering markets to raise the standard, working through long-term partnerships, and building businesses that create jobs where they operate.
Our journey
- 2011 — Fertilizer that works. MSM sources premium product and becomes a major supplier of fertilizer in Nigeria.
- 2010s — Haulage. The fertilizer relationship grows into haulage, and MSM becomes one of Nigeria’s largest transporters of coal and gypsum for industrial cement production.
- 2025 — A resource base and a flagship. March: MoU with Kebbi State. April: the SPAC files its S-1. August: OML 98 reserves reported more than doubled.
- 2026 — West meets East. Engagements in Nigeria, Kenya and Somalia, and an investor forum in New York.
What we stand for
- Integrity. We would rather lose a deal than lose trust. Fifteen years of repeat partners is the record we are judged on.
- Partnership. Every MSM business grew out of a relationship we honoured.
- Excellence. We enter markets to raise the standard, not to match it.
- Impact. Jobs, local capacity and investment that stays in the communities we serve.
