Clozar Group, a fast-growing logistics company transforming cross-border commerce in Africa and beyond, has marked its first anniversary by outlining a bold vision for the future.
The anniversary celebration, which featured a dinner and awards ceremony to recognise and honour staff, took place at Clozar’s office at Spintex in Accra.
Speaking at the event, CEO Tunji Abioye highlighted Clozar’s growth, its impact, and its ambitious aspirations.

“Over the past 12 months, we’ve built more than a logistics company. We’ve built a culture—a drive for businesses to go bigger. Most importantly, we’ve built a bridge connecting local businesses and international clients by handling local and cross-border payments, shipment, customs clearance assistance, and order fulfilment, while also bridging language barriers,” he stated.
Reflecting on the company’s journey, Mr. Abioye expressed pride that what began as a mere vision has become a dynamic force reshaping business operations across Africa.
“Clozar has grown to become one of the biggest, most affordable, and most reliable logistics companies serving both local and cross-border deliveries. That didn’t happen by luck, and it didn’t happen because one young man decided to pursue his dreams and find investors,” he said.
He emphasized that Clozar’s success came from daring to defy the odds and ask bold, unconventional questions in its mission to transform the logistics industry.
“What if Africa didn’t have to wait? What if moving products from Ghana to Nigeria, or from Lagos to Nairobi, could be as seamless as moving them within your own city?
“And most importantly, we built a strong foundation—a family of like-minded and innovative individuals who understand that we’re not just running a business for monthly salaries, but delivering happiness to doorsteps and playing a key role in ensuring the world sees Africa as the self-sufficient continent she truly is,” he noted.
Mr. Abioye expressed heartfelt gratitude to staff, customers, and all other parties who have helped bring the Clozar dream to life.
He shared his optimism that by 2030, Clozar will be one of the most exciting and fulfilling places to work.
“A hub where creativity, innovation, and community thrive, and we wake up each day not to go to a regular job, but to create a legacy of impact.
“To our customers—we see you, we hear you. We’re building Clozar because we want to be closer to you. Not just physically, but in every way that matters. We don’t want to just deliver packages; we want to deliver happiness—on time, every time,” he pledged.
The CEO added, “We’re not stopping at logistics. We’re not limiting ourselves to e-commerce. We are growing beyond. Because at Clozar, we believe the only direction is forward—and the only limit is the one we break next.”
Director of Innovation Commends Clozar
The Director of Digital Innovation at the Ministry of Communication, Emmanuel Ofori, speaking on behalf of the Minister, Sam George, commended Clozar for its ground-breaking initiative.
Mr. Ofori emphasized how Ghana can leverage the global logistics revolution, citing existing systems such as GCNet and UniPass.

“The logistics landscape is rapidly evolving, powered by smart technology and digital infrastructure in advanced economies. But as global giants surge ahead, many African countries—Ghana included—are still finding their footing in a fragmented system.
“Yes, we can track cargo, but unfortunately, we do these things in silos. There is no harmonization. And once you get things done in silos, you are unable to achieve the full outcomes you want,” he stated.
He noted that the call is not just for innovation, but for integration, and urged African countries to move beyond paper treaties and start building real, practical solutions.
He asserted that for Africa to become a serious player in the global supply chain, the continent must tear down both physical and digital barriers.
“The vision is clear: a continent where businesses, big or small, can compete on a global scale through innovation, harmonisation, and investment in infrastructure. Let’s stop working in silos. Let’s build something bigger—together,” he charged.
