Baocam & Truss was founded by Engr. Ayodele Ogunlana, with the vision of making a lasting impact in Nigeria’s infrastructural sector—building a company recognized not just for technical excellence, but for the integrity that makes excellence sustainable.

The name—which he formed—itself carries meaning that guides us daily. BAOCAM is an acronym derived from the initials of his loved ones:
B for Bayonle (his brother)
A for Ayodele (himself)
O for Opeyemi (his sister)
C for Comfort (his mother)
A for Ayodeji (his brother)
M for Modupe (his sister)
TRUSS represents his father—the pillar of strength holding the entire family together. Just as a truss supports and carries the weight of a structure, so too does character support and carry the weight of a business.

This is the personal conviction embedded in every project we undertake.

Guided by both personal inspiration and professional experience as an engineer, Engr. Ogunlana established Baocam & Truss to champion excellence in construction, contribute meaningfully to national development, and become one of Nigeria’s most reputable firms—not through marketing, but through performance.
