Sahara Group is propelling transformation of its downstream business with strategic appointments including Foluso Sobanjo as head, Africa Downstream, and Nomnso Dike as chief executive officer, Asharami Synergy Limited, a Sahara Group downstream company in Nigeria.
Other appointments include Yvette Selormey, as country manager, Asharami Energy Resources Limited, Zambia and Yaa Serwaa Alifo, head, Sahara Downstream, Ghana.
Sahara Group’s downstream division has operations spanning across the entire downstream supply chain, deploying innovative technology in product procurement and trade, warehousing and storage, marketing, distribution, and retail of petroleum products across Africa.
With more than 20 years’ experience in sundry leadership positions in the downstream sector, Foluso Sobanjo said he was looking forward to overseeing the next phase of Sahara’s downstream business transformation.
‘’Sahara Group already has a formidable position as a foremost downstream business in Africa. For us at Sahara, the quest now is to work towards making a difference in the sector to ensure our customers across Africa have more access to seamless, reliable, accessible, and clean energy solutions,” said Foluso Sobanjo, head, Africa Downstream.
Newly appointed CEO, Asharami Synergy, Nomnso Dike, expressed his enthusiasm and delight at the opportunity to work with all stakeholders to raise the bar and establish a robust supply chain machinery that is “transformative, reliable and sustainable”.
“With more than eighteen years of experience as a finance and business development professional and having worked in different capacities in Sahara Group, this new phase of growth will certainly produce a new level of service excellence and smart solutions,” said Nomnso Dike, chief executive officer, Asharami Synergy Limited.
Yvette Selormey, formerly, managing director, Sahara Downstream, Ghana, said she was looking forward to the opportunities and challenges as she steers Sahara’s operations in Zambia through Asharami Energy Resources Limited.
“We have great plans for Zambia, and we are confident that the market will experience distinctive service levels across the value chain. Sahara Group always seeks to bring energy to life responsibly; we shall surpass our targets all to the benefit of the good people of Zambia,” said Yvette Selormey, country manager, Asharami Energy Resources.
According to Yaa Serwaa Alifo, a product of the prestigious Sahara Graduate Management Trainee Program, taking over the reins of the downstream business in Ghana is a “huge platform”, given the successes and unique pedigree Sahara has in Ghana.
“I draw inspiration from the fact that we have the most excellent professionals in Ghana’s oil and gas industry here at Sahara and I know we will achieve greater things and give the market a breath of fresh experiences,” said Yaa Serwaa Alifo, head, Sahara Downstream.

Our downstream business in Africa is set for a journey into the new dispensation of bespoke energy solutions that will spur economic growth and development across the continent,” said Obioma.
