Makaya Plantations Limited · RC 8984819

One name above everything.

Makaya Plantations Limited is the cultivated ground of the estate — its own operations, and the company that holds the houses. Botanica, Studios, Find Actuaries, Àràbà City Estates and Garland Wear all grow from it, with Agric Farms worked as its own business name.

Makaya Botanica LTD · RC 9690405

From the farm, to the shelf.

Botanical and wellness products drawn from the estate’s own harvest — standardised, tested, and taken from cultivated ground to the finished product. We grow it or we make it.

Àràbà City Estates Limited · RC 9810258

A city, conservation-led.

The estate’s conservation-led development company, formed to build to a carbon-neutral standard: land afforested and held in perpetuity, a championship golf course kept inside a strict water and maintenance envelope, and a capped number of residences so that the reserve, not the plot count, sets the scale. Named for the àràbà, the silk-cotton colossus of the Yoruba forest. The Source of Lasting Legacy.

1Foundation — the reason why

A group is generic. A plantation is cultivated ground — from which things grow.

“Plantations” beats “Group.” Everyone has a group. A plantation is cultivated ground from which things grow — the parent is the soil; the companies are what's planted and tended. That metaphor is ours, and it maps exactly onto the mark.

Makaya Plantations Limited is where the estate is held and worked. It runs its own operations and it carries the houses: Makaya Botanica, Makaya Studios, Find Actuaries, Àràbà City Estates, Garland Wear and Makaya Consult LTD, with Makaya Agric Farms registered as a business name — the only one in the estate.

Above it, Makaya Group Limited presides. It licenses the Makaya name, sets brand and identity standards, and carries group-level reporting — but it holds no shares in any company and is not designed to. The houses own the apex, not the reverse. Ownership and trade stay here, on cultivated ground, where the work is done.

The mark reads two ways at once — a living stem, and the holding structure: one root, branches multiplying.

The Architecture

One estate, many things planted.

Makaya Plantations Limited sits at the root: holder of the houses, and a direct operator in its own right. Beneath it, each company is ring-fenced and run on its own terms.

Held by Plantations Sister companies, held by the founder

Garland Wear Limited is wholly owned by Makaya Plantations as filed at CAC, and operates under Makaya Studios LTD, which provides its brand, creative and intellectual-property stewardship — operational reporting and legal ownership are deliberately distinct. Find Actuaries Limited covenants its distributable profits to 3E Foundation. Alongside Plantations, and held directly by the founder rather than beneath it, stand Ceiba Development Limited and Makaya Consult FZE. One letter does a lot of work: the parent is Makaya Plantations (plural); the music imprint printed on releases is Makaya Plantation (singular), produced by Makaya Studios LTD.

What's Planted

The companies of the estate.

Seven houses, each registered in its own right and run on its own terms — botanicals, studios, actuarial practice, the conservation city, children’s wear, advisory, and the farm itself.

RC 9810258 · Conservation-led development

Àràbà City Estates Limited

The flagship ambition: a conservation-led green city built to a carbon-neutral standard. A protected reserve afforested and held in perpetuity, a championship golf course run inside a strict water and maintenance envelope, and a capped number of residences, so the land sets the scale rather than the other way round. Named for the àràbà, the silk-cotton colossus of the Yoruba forest. Site and programme are not yet public.

3E Foundation · Relaunching 2027

Two decades of giving. Relaunching in 2027.

3E Foundation is the giving side of Makaya Plantations Limited. As the principal beneficiary of Awesome Praise, it has channelled proceeds from concerts in London, Washington D.C., Johannesburg and Lagos into education, empowerment and community development across the nations that hosted them.

It is the reason every part of the estate is asked to earn its keep — so that there is always something to give. In 2027 — alongside Awesome Praise's 25th anniversary — 3E Foundation will relaunch.

Heritage

The family name is the real asset.

Makaya is one name above everything — held deliberately, protected on purpose. The estate was built by Olawale Opayinka, mathematician and actuary, whose structural logic runs through every company on it: hold the crown jewels cleanly, let each operation carry its own risk, and never let the brand outrun the substance beneath it.

From a free-zone advisory in Eko Atlantic to a 75-acre farm in Oyo State, from a studio to a foundation — the through-line is cultivation. Plant what will grow. Tend it. Give from the harvest.
