Abdulmunaf Yunusa Sarina Born in Sarina Town, Kano State, on January 7, 1958, Alhaji (DR.) Abdulmunaf Yunusa Sarina pursued business after his primary education, diverging from his elder siblings’ academic paths. His entrepreneurial journey began with small-scale trading and eventually led to his involvement in the family’s transport business, Sani Brothers Transport Nigeria Limited, which boasts a fleet of over 200 trucks.
In 1990, he expanded into the oil and gas sector, starting with a station in Tamburawa, Kano State. His business acumen led to the growth of this venture, resulting in more than 55 stations nationwide and the establishment of Azman Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited in 2007. His strategic investments included acquiring a tank farm in Calabar with a significant storage capacity.
His business interests diversified further with the founding of Azman Air Services Limited in 2010, aiming to improve air travel in Nigeria. The airline, which he owns entirely, began operations in 2014 and has since expanded its fleet, including the acquisition of Nigeria’s first Airbus A340-600, used for long-haul flights and humanitarian missions.
Recognizing the importance of agriculture, he founded Azman Fertilizer & Agro Allied Ltd. and Azman Rice Mills and Farm Limited in 2015, focusing on rice cultivation and milling. His commitment to education materialized with the creation of Azman University in Kano, designed to be a technologically advanced institution, which received its provisional license in 2023.
Alhaji Dr. Abdulmunaf Yunusa Sarina is a distinguished businessman, renowned for his accomplishments and generosity. He holds two honorary doctorates in Business Administration, awarded by Gregory University in Abia State in December 2019, and ESCAE University in Benin in April 2023.
