Qoray Mobility & Energies Ltd (QORAY), a clean energy and sustainable mobility company operating across Nigeria, today formally introduced its founding Executive Leadership Team
Led by Founder and Chief Executive Officer Olabanjo Alimi, alongside Co-Founders Akinkunmi Akingbogun (Vice President, Mobility) and Ayo Falola (Vice President, Renewable Energy), the team has collectively driven the deployment of 2,150+ electric vehicles, over 7MWh of decentralised solar systems, and more than ₦20 billion in clean energy assets across Nigeria

THE QORAY STORY
QORAY was built by executives who spent years architecting Nigeria’s clean energy and mobility ecosystem from within the financial sector and chose to own the mission themselves. The founding team brings not just expertise, but conviction: that Africa’s clean energy transition must be led by Africans, built for African communities, and scaled through homegrown enterprise
That conviction is now on record. Backed by operating proof
