About Me

I’m Baba Jide Akomolafe, a passionate and creative entrepreneur who believes business should be about more than profit; it should serve people, solve real problems, and create lasting impact. My journey into water production wasn’t just a business idea; it was a mission. My family and I recognised a growing need for clean, safe, and dependable drinking water in our communities, and we knew something had to be done. With a background in Business Administration and hands-on experience building businesses from the ground up, I took the step to rebuild De Sunrise Water in 2012, a brand committed to delivering quality, purity, and peace of mind in every bottle. What began as a small-scale, fully manual operation quickly became a personal challenge: to grow, improve, and create a production system that could meet the highest standards. Through consistency, vision, and hard work, I scaled De Sunrise Water into a fully automated facility serving families, stores, offices, and institutions with water they can trust.

De Sunrise is more than just a water factory; it symbolises health, quality, integrity, and community. I believe in creating jobs, empowering others, and building solutions that make life better. Whether through my fashion, recycling, or water production work, everything I build comes from the same place. Purpose and passion.

“I work like everything depends on me, because it does.”

Thank you for visiting. I invite you to experience De Sunrise and join us on this growth, excellence, and refreshing impact journey.
