Nigeria’s construction industry is increasingly looking toward technologies that can improve the quality, durability, and performance of buildings and infrastructure.
One company contributing to this movement is Fincrete Global Company Ltd, the Nigerian company driving the market presence of VELOSIT GmbH and Co. KG, a German construction technology brand.
At the centre of this effort is Engr. Abiola Ayanwenu, who serves as Technical Director of Fincrete Global Company Ltd and also as Country Manager for VELOSIT GmbH and Co. KG in Nigeria.
Through Fincrete, VELOSIT’s construction solutions are being brought closer to Nigerian professionals and projects, with applications covering areas such as waterproofing, concrete repair, protection, and other specialised construction needs.
For Ayanwenu, the responsibility combines her technical background with the demands of leading the development of an international construction brand within the Nigerian market.
Her experience in Civil Engineering and Construction Project Management has given her a strong understanding of the technical realities of construction. She has also gained practical industry experience through her work with Beton-Bau Nigeria Limited and involvement in projects associated with organisations including WAEC and CIPM.
That experience now informs her work at Fincrete Global Company Ltd, where technical knowledge and market development come together.
The significance of her role also extends beyond the business itself. As a Nigerian woman holding technical leadership responsibilities while also serving as Country Manager for a German construction technology brand, Ayanwenu represents the growing presence of women in senior positions within the construction sector.
Her work reflects a broader shift in the industry, one where women are increasingly taking on responsibilities that influence how construction technologies and solutions are introduced, adopted, and applied.
As Nigeria continues to invest in infrastructure and development, the need for better construction practices will remain important.
Through Fincrete Global Company Ltd and its work with VELOSIT, Ayanwenu is playing a role in connecting international construction technology with the needs of the Nigerian market.
