Our Journey

From Foundation to Consolidation

1994
The Foundation — Obena Engineering Nigeria Limited
Founded by His Royal Majesty, High Chief (Engr) Okori, Christopher Obana and incorporated in 1994. For over three decades, Obena Engineering has delivered excellence in civil works, marine works, mechanical, electrical, and technical supplies — serving clients including Rock Cement (now Dangote Cement), National Fertilizer Company of Nigeria (NAFCON), Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC), Notore Chemical Industries, Sokoto Cement — Cement Company of Northern Nigeria (now BUA Cement), Bayelsa State Government, and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), among many others. Today, the company is pivoting into real estate, adding property development to its engineering portfolio.
2011
Expansion into Entertainment & Agriculture
Nerixar Entertainment Limited — founded by His Royal Highness, Prince Okori Ariwepere Christopher. An entertainment firm with over a decade of expertise in events, media, cinema, pageantry, and recreation, applying innovation and creativity to every production.

Arien Industries Nigeria Limited — an agri-tech firm founded by His Royal Highness, Prince Okori Ariwepere Christopher and co-founded by Endoro Calabare Julius. For too long, Africa has been tied up in exporting raw produce and importing processed foods at a premium. Arien exists to correct this imbalance — ensuring Africa processes what it grows and exports value, not just volume. From farm to table, Arien specialises in agricultural logistics, farming, processing, manufacturing, and distribution of agricultural produce.
2024
The Consolidation
These established businesses were consolidated under one umbrella: Krisari Consolidated Limited, also branded under the trademark Krisari Corporation. Three decades. Three companies. One vision — forming Africa's emerging and dynamic business conglomerate, rooted in purpose and positioned for the continent's future.
2025 & Beyond
Strategic Growth & Diversification
Krisari has been making strategic investments across technology, education, oil and gas, security services, medical services, and energy — expanding the group's footprint and deepening its impact across the African continent.
