December 10, 2019, marked a turning point in the life of Boniface Agengo, a young Kenyan entrepreneur who had been following the footsteps of Mohammed Dewji, the youngest African billionaire at the time.
Agengo's journey to success began in the ghettos of Kayole, where he was born to a single mother who struggled to make ends meet. Despite dropping out of university due to financial constraints, Agengo's entrepreneurial spirit drove him to establish himself in the freight industry.
His determination led him to attend a business conference in Dubai in 2018, where he met Dewji, who would later become his mentor. Dewji's support and guidance inspired Agengo to take his business to the next level, and he eventually moved to Tanzania to learn from the billionaire.
Today, Agengo is the founder of TAG, a detergent production company, and is set to launch the MO energy drink. He credits Dewji for his success, saying, 'I am motivated by the fact that we are all born winners and it's a sin to live a life that you were not stationed to live.'
Agengo's story is a testament to the power of hard work and determination, and he aims to become one of the youngest Kenyans to be named as the richest through legitimately acquired wealth.
