Nigeria Rising: Invest in Africa's Largest Opportunity

Presidentially approved and expected to open this quarter. Pre-register on the NUPRC bid portal, assemble a technical and legal consortium with Nigerian content credentials, and arrange signature-bonus financing ahead of the commercial bid conference.

The commercial bid conference has concluded and awards are being finalised. Monitor the NUPRC portal for blocks that are re-offered where preferred bidders fail to meet conditions precedent.

The most accessible entry point for investors abroad. Subscribe through any DMO-licensed stockbroker; holdings can be funded and repatriated through a CBN NRNIA account.

DMO is targeting roughly ₦4 trillion across Q3 2026 auctions. Bid through a primary dealer market maker and track the published auction calendar for stop rates.

Part of the approved external borrowing programme and Nigeria's first dollar-denominated sukuk. Establish a relationship with an international private bank or broker with Eurobond desk access before the roadshow.

DMO has begun appointing transaction advisers for the first Eurobond since November 2025. Complete KYC with a broker that can settle Nigerian sovereign paper via Euroclear.

Shariah-compliant and ring-fenced for road projects. Register with a receiving agent now so you can subscribe within the short offer window when the next tranche opens.

SEC has halted promotional activity pending compliance review, so treat all informal pre-IPO solicitations as unsafe. Open a CSCS-linked brokerage account and wait for the SEC-approved prospectus before committing funds.

Several corporates are preparing listings under the new Act. Investors abroad should hold an active CSCS account and a Nigerian brokerage mandate to participate in offers at short notice.

The primary verified federal access route for investors abroad. Open through any CBN-licensed dealer bank with your passport, proof of non-residency and NIN, then use the NRNIA to buy FGN bonds, treasury bills, equities and real estate.

Live since mid-2026 for qualifying exporters. Apply through an Afreximbank-accredited Nigerian bank with signed export contracts and AfCFTA certificates of origin.

The management mandate has been signed and capital is being deployed into digital and creative economy startups. Fund managers can seek co-investment; angel investors abroad should target downstream portfolio rounds.

No DMO circular has been issued for a new tranche, so treat any offer marketed today as unverified. Watch for announcements labelled specifically as a Diaspora Bond rather than general Eurobond or sukuk news.

The registration portal is active and FEC has approved a large road PPP pipeline. Register on the HDMI portal, partner with an experienced concessionaire and budget for extended ICRC procurement timelines.

FEC approval is in place and the concession is moving through procurement. Prepare a tolling revenue model and demonstrate balance-sheet capacity for a long-tenor availability structure.

NSIA co-invests across motorways, power, healthcare and agriculture. Approach NSIA directly for a co-investment MOU; note there is no separate diaspora tranche despite third-party marketing that suggests otherwise.

The expression of interest for a fund manager was issued in July 2026. Fund managers should respond now; founders and angels abroad should wait for the manager appointment before pitching for co-investment.

There is no separate diaspora window, so do not wait for one. Incorporate a Nigerian entity and apply for the Startup Label on startup.gov.ng under the existing general provisions.

Over 160,000 fellows have been trained across three cohorts. Professionals and firms abroad can join as training partners, mentors or employers through the Partner Network portal.

Pioneer Status has been repealed under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 and application guidelines for EDI were issued in July 2026. Apply directly to NIPC for EDI certification rather than the legacy scheme.

Register with CAC and NEPC and keep complete export documentation. NEPC reports the historic claims backlog is nearing resolution, so expect some disbursement delay on new claims.

The ministry is actively courting investors but no formal offer document or diaspora tranche exists yet. Open MOU discussions with FMLD and secure land through state investment promotion agencies while the framework is finalised.

Structured around registered cooperatives and off-taker agreements. Secure a signed off-take contract and a BVN-linked Nigerian corporate account before applying.
