Celebrating 3 Years of MaterialsPro

Three years ago, we set out on a mission to solve a persistent pain point in the construction industry. What began as a simple idea — born from personal frustration and first-hand field experience — has evolved into a thriving solution that is transforming how building materials are procured and delivered in Nigeria.

Today, MaterialsPro is 3 years old, and I’m incredibly humbled by how far we’ve come.

From One Order to Over 100,000 Tons Delivered

Building a company from the ground up is never easy. We've faced real challenges — uncertainty, long days in the field, countless iterations, and plenty of hard lessons. But through it all, we held on to a single vision: to simplify and streamline the way materials move from supplier to site.

And we had that moment — our very first customer order. That one call changed everything. It validated our conviction and reminded us why we chose to build this. Since that day, that single order has snowballed into:

✅ Over 100,000 tons of construction materials delivered

✅ Hundreds of builders empowered

✅ Countless hours saved on procurement and logistics

✅ Hope restored for aspiring homeowners

To Everyone Who Believed — Thank You

To our customers — thank you for trusting us with your projects.

To our partners and investors — thank you for your belief in the dream, even when there was no proof, just grit.

To our friends, family, and early supporters — thank you for being our sounding board and safe space.

To our team — the rockstars of MaterialsPro — this win belongs to you. You’ve shown up, done the work, and delivered results. I’m deeply proud of what we’ve built together.

What’s Next?

As we look ahead, it honestly feels like Day One again. We're excited about what’s in the pipeline — from smarter logistics to deeper integrations and new features that will further simplify the builder’s experience.

There’s so much more to create, to refine, and to contribute to the broader construction and housing ecosystem across Africa.

Here’s to the next chapter: Building smarter. Innovating boldly. Creating lasting impact.

Happy 3rd Anniversary, MaterialsPro!

With gratitude,
