Woodhall Capital is leading efforts to attract $50 billion in global investments to accelerate infrastructure, energy, and development projects across Nigeria.

Founder Mojisola Hunponu-Wusu highlighted the firm’s growing success in mobilizing international capital, noting a key milestone: a pre-investor forum at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where representatives from all 36 states engaged with global investors and development finance institutions (DFIs).

Hunponu-Wusu stressed the importance of strategic partnerships in advancing large-scale projects. Woodhall Capital plans to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Forum of State Investment Promotion Agencies (FoSIPAN) and the National Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) to strengthen sub-sovereign and sovereign partnerships.

The firm is also launching a multi-city investment roadshow with stops in London, Dubai, and potentially Abu Dhabi to unlock new financing opportunities. “At the Abuja forum, we showcased Nigeria’s investment potential and emphasized the critical role of African Direct Investments (ADIs) in fostering self-reliance and boosting investor confidence,” Hunponu-Wusu said.

Woodhall Capital has strengthened its presence in financial hubs like London and Dubai to deepen relationships with investors and host governments. Discussions at the forum focused on identifying viable investment opportunities and highlighting Nigeria’s economic potential.

The forum drew over 400 participants, including senior officials, bankers, and investment groups, reflecting growing interest in cross-border trade and investment. Hunponu-Wusu also lauded the Nigeria Governors’ Forum for promoting indigenous firms and underscored Africa’s improved investment climate under President Bola Tinubu.

A major initiative supporting this agenda is the Woodhall Africa Trade Gateway, developed with the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), a digital platform facilitating intra-African trade—a marketplace described as an “African Amazon” for commodities.

Hunponu-Wusu also encouraged young African women to leverage their talents and emphasized Woodhall Capital’s commitment to working with all 36 states to attract investments, spotlight local opportunities, and promote inclusive economic growth across Nigeria.
