Woodhall Capital, led by founder Mojisola Hunponu-Wusu, is driving efforts to secure $50 billion in global investments for development projects across Nigeria. The company recently hosted a pre-investor forum at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where representatives from all 36 Nigerian states met with global investors and development finance institutions.
The forum highlighted the importance of strategic partnerships in advancing large-scale infrastructure and energy projects. To this end, Woodhall Capital will sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Forum of State Investment Promotion Agencies and the National Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry Mines and Agriculture to strengthen sub-sovereign and sovereign partnerships. The company is also launching a multi-city investment roadshow in London, Dubai, and potentially Abu Dhabi to unlock new financing opportunities.
According to Hunponu-Wusu, the Abuja forum showcased Nigeria’s vast investment potential and emphasized the critical role of African Direct Investments in fostering self-reliance and boosting investor confidence. Woodhall Capital is strengthening its presence in key financial hubs like London and Dubai, where it has established offices to deepen relationships with host governments and investors.
The event drew over 400 participants, including senior officials from the Vice President’s office, banks, and investment groups, demonstrating a growing appetite for cross-border collaboration in trade and investment. Hunponu-Wusu praised the Nigeria Governors’ Forum for its proactive role in engaging indigenous firms to promote Nigeria’s investment story.
The company is also developing the Woodhall Africa Trade Gateway, a digital platform designed to facilitate intra-African trade, in partnership with the African Export-Import Bank. The platform will serve as a marketplace for sourcing commodities within the continent, promoting economic growth and development.
Woodhall Capital is committed to supporting sub-national entities in attracting investment, with plans to visit all 36 states in Nigeria to assess opportunities and collaborate with state governments in presenting these prospects to international investors. This initiative aims to drive inclusive economic growth across the country, highlighting the unique investment potential of each state.
The company’s efforts are part of a broader push to attract investment to Nigeria, with the goal of securing $50 billion in global investments. With its strategic partnerships, digital platforms, and commitment to promoting intra-African trade, Woodhall Capital is well-positioned to play a key role in driving economic growth and development in Nigeria and across the continent.
