Born on 13 December 1987 in Yola, Adamawa State, Bashir Haske obtained a diploma in political science from the University of Abuja and an MBA in economics from the Lagos
Business School. He has also obtained various certifications locally and internationally.
Bashir Haske is a serial entrepreneur and private investor. He is also a philanthropist and owns a notable foundation in Nigeria, the Abdullahi Bashir Haske Foundation. Described as a goal-getter and result-driven individual by those who know him, he is a radical force in the business world and is often used as a role model for youths across the continent and globally.
He stepped fully into the business world in 2005, and since then, he has gone on to start his own company and rank as one of the youngest billionaires in the world. His company, AA & R Investment Group, boasts several subsidiaries with vested interests across oil and gas, aviation, marine services, logistics, and information technology.
The young billionaire is also the owner of Haske & Williams Limited – a commercial agriculture business; Nitro Switch Limited, Etihad Oilfield Services Limited, Etihad Trading Limited, Etihad Energy Limited; H&W Rice Co. Limited, and Mars Aviation Limited.
He established a rice mill in his native Adamawa State and a cassava starch processing plant in Kwara State, which provides thousands of job opportunities for Nigerians.
His foundation, the Abdullahi Bashir Haske Foundation, is focused on providing support to the less privileged through the provision of free services in public health, disease eradication, and small business grants. The activities of the foundation are focused in north - and north-central Nigeria.
Haske started his business career in 2005 as a general contractor, offering services to various sectors of the Nigerian economy, including oil and gas, construction, and public procurement. It was after he left that position that he began his own business into a full-fledged conglomerate operating across several sectors of the Nigerian and African economy.
His consistent works and contributions over the years, to ensuring the dishing out of only excellent results in all he does at various quarters, have positioned him for several recognitions both locally and internationally amongst many others, these includes, NOG 2021 Rising Star of the year Award (Africa Energy Series) and Peace Achievers Awards (2019).
The result-driven and future thinking lifestlye of Abdullahi Bashir Haske is quite phenomenal and enviable. He has risen to become the vocal point of discussion in several industries across Nigeria and Africa at large, and with this, it is only a matter of time till he becomes a force of high reckoning, making big things happen and joining the big names of highly sophisticated and successful black men like Aliko Dangote, Abdul Samad Rabiu, Femi Otedola and Tony Elumelu.
You may want to know that, Haske, through his NGO known as AB Haske Foundation, has been able to wipe away the tears of many indigents in different Local Governments in Nigeria, continually putting smiles on their faces, with several testimonies following.
One of the foundation’s most significant outreach efforts was its campaign during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, which saw a total of 14,000 residents from 21 local government areas in Adamawa State receive palliatives to help reduce the direct effects of the pandemic.
Bashir Haske is happily married and blessed with children.
