Woodhall Capital, led by founder Mojisola Hunponu‑Wusu, is spearheading a drive 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, bringing together representatives from all 36 Nigerian states, global investors, and development finance institutions. The event underscored the importance of strategic partnerships in advancing large‑scale infrastructure and energy projects.
To strengthen both sub‑sovereign and sovereign collaborations, 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. In addition, the firm is launching a multi‑city investment roadshow in London, Dubai, and potentially Abu Dhabi to unlock new financing opportunities.
Hunponu‑Wusu noted that the Abuja forum showcased Nigeria’s vast investment potential and highlighted the critical role of African Direct Investments in fostering self‑reliance and boosting investor confidence. Woodhall Capital is expanding its presence in key financial hubs, having established offices in London and Dubai to deepen relationships with host governments and investors. The forum attracted over 400 participants, including senior officials from the Vice President’s office, banks, and investment groups, reflecting a growing appetite for cross‑border collaboration in trade and investment.
The founder praised the Nigeria Governors’ Forum for its proactive engagement with indigenous firms to promote Nigeria’s investment story. Woodhall Capital is also developing the Woodhall Africa Trade Gateway, a digital platform in partnership with the African Export‑Import Bank. This marketplace will facilitate intra‑African trade by enabling the sourcing of commodities within the continent, thereby promoting economic growth and development.
Committed to supporting sub‑national entities, Woodhall Capital plans to visit all 36 states to assess opportunities and collaborate with state governments in presenting prospects to international investors. This initiative aims to drive inclusive economic growth across the country by highlighting each state’s unique investment potential. Through strategic partnerships, digital platforms, and a focus on intra‑African trade, Woodhall Capital is well‑positioned to play a key role in advancing economic growth and development in Nigeria and across the continent.
