Westgate Investments
In 1920, the Rida Lababedi Group was founded in Manchester, England. The business concentrated on textile trade between Europe, Africa & the Middle East. Gradually, the company diversified in order to provide financial services for our partners' growing business needs.
In 1959, RLG was an established trading company perceived as a pioneer in the triangular trade thanks to its expansion in the Asian markets.
Our relations network and good reputation in Nigeria enabled the successive establishment of a variety of businesses across West Africa: motor vehicle distribution, textile manufacturing and wholesale, furniture manufacturing, plastics, metal products, soft drinks and fishing. The Nissan and Datsun distribution business achieved remarkable success and became one of the largest vehicle distributorships in the World.
