The first Sahara Group company, “Sahara Energy Resource Limited”, was founded in 1996 as an oil trading business focused on Nigerian and West African oil products. Within 3 years the company had established herself as a credible trading house securing trade lines from first class international banks, like BNP Paribas and United European Bank.

Over the years, as the company grew in reputation and size, it became evident that there was a need to diversify into other industry-related businesses. Initially, this was done by creating divisions within Sahara Energy Resource Limited.

As the divisions grew into veritable businesses and revenue generators in themselves, they were established as separate limited liability companies, each with its own management and organizational structure, all co-existing as a part of the larger Group.

The Group has witnessed remarkable growth since its inception and in 2007, four (4) fully autonomous companies were spun off and now operate as independent entities. The company has also experience tremendous growth in staff and as of December 2010, the total staff strength of all Sahara companies was just under 450.

Management of the Group is vested in Enageed Resource Ltd as the general overseer of all operating companies and provider of centralized group functions. Daily management of our operating companies is decentralized and vests with their respective managers.

The Group is headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria.
