Ajose Samuel Mawuyon, widely known as SMA, has continued to carve a remarkable path as one of Badagry’s most influential business figures and philanthropists, earning respect across Lagos State and beyond for his grit, discipline and forward-thinking leadership.
Born in June 1976, Ajose is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Levitikal Group of Companies, a fast-growing Nigerian conglomerate with strong footprints in construction, luxury real estate, infrastructure development and interior design. Over the years, he has built a reputation as a strategic entrepreneur who thrives in challenging environments, turning ideas into profitable ventures through innovation, structure and sheer determination.
Those who have worked closely with him describe him as a results-driven leader with a rare ability to reorganise systems, inspire teams and push boundaries in pursuit of excellence. His business philosophy, anchored on discipline and impact, has helped his companies remain competitive despite Nigeria’s tough economic climate.
Beyond boardrooms and business deals, Ajose has distinguished himself as a committed philanthropist. He has consistently given back to society, particularly in Badagry, where he has supported the empowerment of female traders and strengthened the capital base of local government cooperative societies. His interventions have provided relief and opportunity for many small-scale entrepreneurs striving to stay afloat.
In a major political statement, Ajose recently pledged the sum of ₦1.5 billion in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid, a move that further underscores his active involvement in national development and party politics. A loyal member of the All Progressives Congress, he has been widely recognised for his contributions to the growth and stability of the party in Lagos State.
Academically, Ajose holds a Bachelor’s degree in Geography from the University of Ilorin and a professional certification in Set Design and Finishing. His blend of academic grounding and practical business experience has shaped his holistic approach to leadership and development.
With growing influence in business, philanthropy and politics, Ajose Samuel Mawuyon has also made his ambition clear. He has openly expressed interest in contesting the Lagos State governorship in 2027, a move many observers believe could reshape the political landscape if pursued.
From Badagry to the broader Nigerian stage, Ajose’s journey reflects resilience, vision and a deep commitment to societal progress. As his story continues to unfold, many are watching closely to see how far his ambition and service-driven mindset will take him.
