Neveah’s transformation has been marked by steady progress as revenue has grown by 445 percent between 2019 and Q3 2023. It also has expanded its offerings from a small commodity trading operation to a full-fledged food and agribusiness encompassing semi-finished and consumer goods, commodities trading as well as logistics.

This growth facilitated the successful registration of a N20 billion Commercial Paper Programme in April 2023, shortly after which the company raised N2.04 billion via its Series13 Commercial Paper Issuance to meet working capital requirements.

Ibidapo Lawal, the CEO of Neveah, stated, “Our objective is to be the foremost export company for solid minerals and agricultural products in Nigeria.

This issuance will assist us in meeting our working capital requirements and further strengthening our capacity to realise our objectives. We extend our appreciation to all the parties involved in making this a success.”
