Today demonstrates how strategic partnership can channel long-term investment into Nigeria’s most critical sectors.
Through our partnership with the European Investment Bank, we are deploying targeted, long-term financing into two priority sectors, healthcare and agriculture. These sectors are central to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s agenda for national resilience and inclusive growth.
In healthcare, this facility will support the local manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and diagnostics. This is an important step toward reducing import dependence and strengthening Nigeria’s health security.
In agriculture, we are strengthening key value chains such as cocoa and dairy, driving productivity, value addition, and improved livelihoods for farmers and agribusinesses across the country.
At the Bank of Industry, we see these sectors not only as development priorities, but as strategic industries with strong potential for job creation, export growth, and regional competitiveness.
This partnership reflects a broader shift toward patient capital, sustainable finance, and institution-led industrialisation. It demonstrates how strong collaboration and blended finance can unlock scalable impact.
Our goal is clear. To build globally competitive industries, create jobs at scale, and improve the quality of life for Nigerians.
We appreciate our partners for their continued confidence in Nigeria and in the Bank of Industry, and we look forward to translating this commitment into measurable impact.
Thank you.
