As part of efforts to deepen alumni engagement across borders, Mr. Kwame Kurankyi Dadson, Network Manager for Stanford Seed West Africa, paid a strategic visit to Mr. Murewa Odunjo (Cohort 12), Managing Director of LS Scientific Limited, at the company’s newly established office in Whitstable, Kent, on Thursday, June 26, 2025.

Mr. Odunjo warmly received Mr. Kwame and introduced him to his local UK team. He shared recent updates on the company’s progress since completing the Seed Transformation Program in 2022, including a tour of the new facility, part of a broader transformation plan. The company is already preparing to expand into an additional unit within the same industrial estate, reflecting continued growth and ambition.

LS Scientific, founded in 2007, is a leading provider of laboratory solutions and quality-control services, with operations in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom. The company partners with top manufacturers across Europe and North America to deliver laboratory equipment, chemicals, testing services, training, and turnkey lab design. Its mission is to eliminate substandard products and improve quality of life, aligned with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals including Good Health & Well-being and Clean Water & Sanitation.

At the helm of LS Scientific is Mr. Murewa Odunjo, a visionary leader who has transformed the business from a product reseller into a full-service laboratory solutions company. Under his leadership, LS Scientific has made significant investments in Nigeria, including the development of comprehensive quality-control laboratories for wet chemistry, microbiology, instrumentation, and calibration. In the UK, Mr. Odunjo is scaling the business through strong global partnerships, with a target of reaching £10 million in revenue over the next five years.

During the visit, Mr. Odunjo also updated Mr. Dadson on the Nigerian arm of the business, which continues to thrive. A follow-up visit to the Lagos office is being planned. He reaffirmed his commitment to the Stanford Seed Network and expressed openness to deeper engagement whenever he is in Nigeria.

This visit is part of a broader initiative by the Network to reconnect with alumni outside the continent and support their entrepreneurial journeys. LS Scientific Limited’s journey reflects the impact of visionary leadership and global ambition, strengthened by the consistent support of the Stanford Seed Network. It’s a clear example of how African-founded businesses can scale internationally while continuing to drive meaningful change at home.
