Boris Abagha Ekogha is a young Gabonese native of Bitam in northern Gabon. After obtaining his baccalaureate and a law degree obtained at the UOB, it is in an agency granting loans and financial credits that the young Boris takes his first steps in the world of work.

Two years later, he was dismissed and it was the beginning of a long obstacle course in Gabonese companies and administrations. Unable to find work and without any resources, the man D'Akom Effack resolves to take his destiny into his own hands. It is therefore in Okolassi, on the road to Ntoum that Mr. Boris puts his luggage with his eyes raised to the sky with his fiancée and his son.

Thanks to the strength of his hands, his iron mind, his faith in God and his knowledge of the rural world, Boris invests in the sale of firewood whose trees he himself fells in the forest to feed his family.

Ambitious and dynamic, he learns with the help of heaven the techniques of creation and manufacture of tables, chairs, beds, air lounge with hardwood from Gabon. To date, Boris is the only Gabonese in this field from PK12 to Ntoum in an area dominated by expatriates. It makes its way and offers quality products made with love and passion. Boris has great ambitions, which is why he created his structure, the Société de Transformation et Négoce de Bois (STNB).

Despite the difficulties and in such a complicated economic context with the lack of financial means to acquire machines to boost his activity, Boris does not give up. He hopes that one day his dream will come true and that the authorities will play their part.

If you go through Okolassi, just after the economic zone of Nkok, before the city of Ntoum buy a nice garden furniture in hardwood from Gabon. Make orders, you will not be disappointed.
