Leadership

Abdulgafar Opeyemi Abdulrafiu

Founder & CEO, Bosere Trading Limited

Abdulgafar grew up inside the family business. During his secondary school years, he helped in the store, learning the trade by working alongside his father.

When his mother passed away in 2011, the family held together around the business. He supported it with his father and brothers, taking on more responsibility as the years went on.

After completing secondary school in 2016, he moved into full-time involvement, working day to day in the operation his father had built.

Around 2023–2024, road construction led to the removal of the store extension. He used that moment to restructure how the business operates, rather than simply rebuild what had been lost.

That work shaped a wider vision: to carry a trusted textile business beyond traditional retail and into a modern, structured enterprise. Bosere Trading Limited is where that vision now takes form.
