Nigeria’s United Capital Expands Into Francophone West Africa

Nigeria’s United Capital Expands Into Francophone West Africa
Nigerian financial powerhouse United Capital is making moves beyond its borders, setting up shop in Côte d’Ivoire to tap into French-speaking West Africa. This new investment management arm will operate across eight countries, marking a strategic push into a region that’s often overlooked by Anglophone African firms.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another corporate expansion—it’s a sign of Nigeria’s growing influence in regional finance and a bet on Francophone Africa’s untapped potential. For investors, it means more options and competition in a market that’s been dominated by local players. For everyday folks in those eight countries? More financial services could mean better access to wealth-building tools, if United Capital delivers on its promises.
