Nigeria is a great investment destination…but one must obsess over the currency component. Investors and operators that have done this, have been rewarded.

Unpopular opinion: we should get rid of all fundraising round names and just use numbers.
Eg: “I’m raising $5m”
Vs
“I’m raising a pre-seed, seed, mango seed, post-seed, avocado seed, pre-A, series A depending on who is interpreting.”

Here is Naira v Rwandan franc over last 15 years. They have similar overall result, but one is far more predictable.
Depreciating currency is not the biggest killer for foreign investment…it’s the predictability of that path.

Exciting day seeing some of @BRDbank 's great partners and what they have been achieving.
Earlier today, BRD board members paid a courtesy visit to V Plus Packaging, a leading manufacturer of packaging materials, and @BwizaRiverside , a real estate company with a focus on affordable housing—both located in Gahanga sector. The visit highlighted BRD’s commitment to financing projects that drive industrial growth and provide sustainable housing solutions.

Governance unlocks capital. Transparency and discipline are musts for investors. At BRD, we prepare businesses for IPOs and align them with equity to drive governance via debt instruments. Our sustainability‑linked bonds grow local depth in the capital market. #SustainableFinance

Capital principles matter. Global investors need freedom—if you can’t exit, you won’t invest. Rwanda’s forward‑looking approach—no issues with capital controls and double taxation agreements—boost cross‑border investing. We must expand local service providers to grow our market.
