History

MAYSSA INTERNATIONAL NIG. LTD. was incorporated as a limited liability company in 1992. The spirit of entrepreneurial enterprise that sustains and fuel its undying ambition for high standard in provisions of services through three generations was re-kindled 131 years ago by a Lebanese trader Mr. Michael Elias, who arrived in Lagos at the end of an aborted trip to Rio de Janeiro in brazil.

Mr. Michael Elias reportedly built one of the first three-story building on Ereko/Balogun street on Lagos Island, Nigeria. He lived the rest of his life in Lagos and was buried in the city after his death. His Grandson Mr. Elie Elias who picked up the spirit is now the Managing Director of Mayssa

Mayssa has come a long way from its mid-size roots, which mainly involved small-scale projects such as the construction of residential quarters and renovations. Today, Mayssa is one of the fastest growing and most dynamic construction and civil engineering companies in Nigeria and has been taking bigger and more complex projects; which also employs over 90 highly skilled staff.

Our success and reputation today are built on the consistent delivery of quality, speed, efficiency and overall client satisfaction. With that in mind, our Executive Director, Katy Elias, developed an interior design company called Ispace Interior that specializes in turnkey fit out solutions for commercial, residential and public facilities.
