Woodhall Capital Targets $50 Billion Global Investments to Drive Nigeria’s Economic Growth
Woodhall Capital has unveiled bold plans to attract $50 billion in global investments to accelerate Nigeria’s economic development. The financial advisory firm, led by its founder, Mojisola Hunponu-Wusu, is building strategic alliances aimed at boosting infrastructure, energy, and trade opportunities across all 36 states of the federation.
Speaking after a pre-investor forum held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Hunponu-Wusu emphasized the importance of collaboration in driving sustainable growth. The event brought together representatives from every Nigerian state, alongside international investors and development finance institutions (DFIs). She announced upcoming Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the Forum of State Investment Promotion Agencies (FoSIPAN) and NACCIMA, reinforcing partnerships between state governments and global investors.
To further strengthen international engagement, Woodhall Capital is planning a multi-city investment roadshow in London, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi, aimed at unlocking new financing opportunities. The company has already established offices in London and Dubai to deepen ties with investors and host governments. Discussions at the Abuja forum focused on identifying viable projects that can accelerate Nigeria’s economic transformation.
Hunponu-Wusu highlighted the launch of the Woodhall Africa Trade Gateway, a digital platform developed in partnership with Afreximbank. Dubbed an “African Amazon,” the platform is designed to promote intra-African trade by connecting businesses and simplifying commodity sourcing across the continent. She also praised the Nigeria Governors’ Forum for empowering indigenous firms to tell Nigeria’s investment story, noting that “Africa must invest in itself to build lasting confidence.”
Addressing gender disparities, Hunponu-Wusu encouraged young African women to focus on adding value and showcasing their talents in the investment space. She reaffirmed Woodhall Capital’s commitment to visiting all 36 Nigerian states to identify opportunities and collaborate with local governments. This grassroots initiative, she said, will spotlight each state’s unique potential and foster inclusive economic growth across Nigeria.
