The Argentil Group has unveiled a new corporate brand identity in Lagos, positioning itself as a key player in investment, advisory, and capital deployment across Nigeria and Africa.
According to a statement signed by the co-founder and Chairperson of Argentil Group, Mr Adekunle Adedeji, the event held recently at the Metropolitan Club, Lagos, drew senior business leaders, policymakers, clients, and partners, who celebrated Argentil’s journey since its 2009 founding and its ambitions for sustainable value creation.
Adedeji said, “Argentil was founded with a simple conviction: Africa’s growth requires capital, expertise, and institutions that understand the markets they serve. This corporate rebranding represents the next chapter of Argentil. It reflects who we are today and the scale of the ambition that lies ahead.
“Our refreshed identity signals clarity of purpose and our mission to be a trusted strategic partner in redemptive capital allocation across Africa’s most important sectors.”
The programme featured a keynote by the Group Chief Executive of SAYS Energy Group, Mr Bolaji Osunsanya, who stressed the need for action beyond advice.
“Argentil is repositioning at a moment when Nigeria needs institutions that can do more than advise. It needs institutions that can help rebuild confidence strategically.
“Nigeria’s next growth cycle will be built on credibility, policy, patient capital, and trusted institutions. The opportunity is here; the question is whether we can organise the ecosystem around it. I believe firms like Argentil have an important role to play in making that belief investable,” Osunsanya noted.
Senior Special Adviser to the President on Finance and the Economy, Mrs Sanyade Okoli, delivered a congratulatory message. A highlight was the executive dialogue on “Rebuilding Investor Confidence: Policy, Capital, and Nigeria’s Next Growth Cycle,” moderated by the Managing Director and CEO of Argentil Capital Ltd, Mr Femi Oladehin.
The co-founder and Non-Executive Director of Argentil Group, Mr Olumide Ogunfowora, added, “This event is not only about who we are as an organization, but also about our continued commitment, working with various stakeholders, to supporting Nigeria’s and, indeed, Africa’s financial landscape—driving inclusion, strengthening trust, and delivering solutions that meet the evolving needs of individuals, entrepreneurs, businesses, our communities and the Nation.”
Panellists included Mrs Fola Laoye (Co-Founder & CEO, Iwosan Healthcare Systems Limited), Mr Dayo Idowu (Partner, DLA Piper Africa), Ms Lola Apampa (Director, Kuramo Capital Management), Mr Razaq Ahmed CFA (Managing Director, Cowrywise), and Mr Emeka Nkemakolam (Assistant General Manager/Head, Energy & Power, Fidelity Bank Plc).
They discussed policy direction, capital flows, private-sector confidence, and reforms to unlock Nigeria’s growth. Argentil, an integrated platform for investment banking, principal investments, and asset management, supports corporates, institutions, and governments with corporate finance advisory, capital raising, and strategic growth solutions.
