The Nigerian Capital Development Fund (NCDF) has unveiled a $1 billion investment initiative aimed at accelerating inclusive and sustainable development across the country.
The programme is structured to deploy capital across six strategic sectors: renewable energy, affordable housing, healthcare infrastructure, agriculture, financial inclusion services and startup and innovation financing.
As a specialised impact investment and fund management institution, NCDF is deploying the funds through innovative Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), blended finance structures, and diaspora capital mobilisation frameworks. The programme is already underway and is aligned with Nigeria’s national development priorities and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“This initiative is more than an investment programme – it is a commitment to unlocking Nigeria’s vast potential by addressing the country’s most pressing development needs through structured capital and impactful partnerships,” said Mr. Hareter Babatunde Oralusi, Executive Chairman of NCDF. “With this fund, we are creating opportunities for millions of Nigerians while delivering bankable projects that meet global investment standards.”
He noted that NCDF is actively partnering with federal and state governments, development finance institutions (DFIs), sovereign wealth entities, and private equity stakeholders to co-finance viable, impact-driven projects. The fund’s governance model ensures transparency, regulatory compliance, and dual return outcomes, financial and social.
The investment initiative also offers diaspora communities a credible and risk-managed opportunity to reinvest in Nigeria’s future through housing, enterprise, and community development.
NCDF, he said, invites global institutional investors, DFIs, and strategic partners to participate in this ambitious programme that places impact and sustainability at its core.
The Nigerian Capital Development Fund (NCDF) is a licensed impact investment and fund management organisation focused on financing inclusive development across Nigeria. NCDF specialises in the design and management of blended capital funds, PPPs, and diaspora engagement vehicles targeting infrastructure, entrepreneurship, and economic empowerment.
