Today, Afreximbank announces a landmark MoA agreement with King’s College London to establish a medical and nursing school in Abuja, Nigeria. The signing ceremony, held at King’s College London’s Strand Campus on November 24, is a significant step towards transforming healthcare education and training in Africa.

The MoA sets the stage for initiating a scoping study that will determine the feasibility of their plan to jointly establish a state-of-the-art medical and nursing school alongside the African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE) in Abuja, Nigeria. The project will draw on King’s world-leading insight and expertise in healthcare education and training to create a model that will benefit the entire African continent. The MoA represents a bold step towards an empowered healthcare landscape, defining a new era for the continent. The establishment of a cutting-edge medical and nursing school is a significant stride towards ensuring that Africa possesses the expertise and resources to meet its own healthcare needs. With the support of King’s College London, this partnership holds the potential to transform Africa’s healthcare sector, delivering quality healthcare workers, doctors, nurses, and scientists not only for Africa but for the world.

Together, we embark on a journey that not only bridges the healthcare gap but also redefines the standards of medical education in Africa. #Afreximbank #KingsCollegeLondon, #AMCE #AfricaHealthcareTransformation

At #IATF2023, Afreximbank has confirmed the signing of a Mandate Letter for a USD 800 Million Syndicated Dual Facility with Oando. This financial package comprises a USD 500 Million Senior Secured Reserve Based Lending facility and a USD 300 Million Receivables Backed Term Loan facility.

The aim is to fuel a strategic acquisition of a 20% participating interest in the Nigerian Agip Oil Company Limited (NAOC). This includes Oil Mining Leases 60, 61, 62, and 63, as well as the entire issued share capital of NAOC, acquired from Eni S.A.

This move perfectly aligns with the Afreximbank’s unwavering commitment to supporting indigenous African institutions. The facility underscores our dedication to financing transactions that not only boost Africa's trade but also empower local companies by transferring capacity from foreign institutions to African hands.

This acquisition is a pivotal moment for Oando, propelling it to new heights in the oil industry by significantly enhancing its production capacity. Beyond that, this financing is a shining example of Afreximbank's prowess in mobilizing capital for robust transactions within its member nations. #Afreximbank #Oando #Africa
