BUA Industries $200 million Afreximbank facility

BUA Industries secures $200 million from Afreximbank to strengthen Nigeria’s manufacturing sector, boosting industrial capacity and exports.

 

 

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n a major development for Nigeria’s manufacturing sector, BUA Industries Limited has secured a $200 million corporate finance facility from the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) to support its ambitious expansion plans.

The first tranche, totalling $150 million, was disbursed on 16 October 2024, marking a significant step towards bolstering Nigeria’s industrial capabilities.

BUA Chairman Abdul Samad Rabiu underscored the critical role of Afreximbank’s financial backing in advancing the company’s mission to strengthen both manufacturing and infrastructure across Nigeria.

“With Afreximbank’s support, BUA can increase investments to strengthen industrial capacity and meet regional demand,” Rabiu stated.

He further outlined BUA’s vision for sustainable growth aimed at enhancing Nigeria’s self-sufficiency, expanding Africa’s footprint in global trade, and fostering economic resilience through job creation.

Afreximbank’s Executive Vice President for Intra-Africa Trade and Export Development, Kanayo Awani, expressed optimism about the partnership’s potential.

Awani noted that the facility would enable BUA to scale up its industrial operations, contributing significantly to Nigeria’s manufacturing base and export potential.

“We are delighted at this partnership, which promises to deliver significant impact through job creation, import substitution, and export diversification – all contributing to a boost in Nigeria’s GDP,” she remarked.

This strategic financing aligns with Afreximbank’s goal of strengthening intra-African trade, with BUA Industries positioned to play a pivotal role in reducing imports and diversifying exports.

The facility not only supports BUA’s expansion but also advances Nigeria’s manufacturing capacity, positioning the country as a stronger economic player on the African continent and in global trade.

The partnership between BUA and Afreximbank underscores the importance of corporate finance in fostering local industrialisation, highlighting Nigeria’s potential as a key destination for trade and industrial investment in Africa.
