Afrinvest (West Africa) Limited is marking two milestones in 2025: its 30th anniversary and the release of the 20th edition of its Nigerian Banking Sector Report (BSR).
In a statement on Sunday, the firm said the celebration highlights three decades of impact, policy shaping, and solutions for Nigeria’s economy. The 2025 BSR is themed “ACT-BOLD: Turbocharging Nigeria to a New Growth Frontier.”
Founded in 1995, Afrinvest has grown into a key player in Nigeria’s financial sector, providing data-driven insights, structuring deals, and managing assets.
Group Managing Director, Ike Chioke, said the anniversary reflects Afrinvest’s resilience, innovation, and commitment to building a more inclusive and prosperous economy. He urged stakeholders to act boldly, think differently, and collaborate to achieve Nigeria’s $1tn economy target.
Deputy GMD, Victor Ndukauba, noted Afrinvest’s journey from one of Nigeria’s earliest stock brokerage firms to an advisory partner in investment banking, asset management, securities trading, trust services, consultancy, research, and fintech.
The Managing Director of Afrinvest Consulting Limited, Abiodun Keripe, described the BSR as a trusted resource for regulators, investors, and development partners. He said this year’s edition emphasizes the need to diversify the economy through seven sectors: agriculture, creatives, tourism and hospitality, banking and finance, oil and gas, logistics, and domestic manufacturing.
The 2025 BSR comes amid global economic uncertainty. The International Monetary Fund projects global growth at 3.0 per cent in 2025, slightly above the 2.8 per cent forecast earlier, while Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to grow by 4.0 per cent, supported by commodities and exports.
