Babatunde Ajayi, Head, Capital Markets & Advisory at United Capital, stated that United Capital is delighted to act as sponsor and sole arranger to the Programme.

Neveah Limited is a registered exporter of agro-commodities and minerals with the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC),
the company was able to attain an investment-grade rating from Data Pro, enabling its first entry into the Capital Markets.

The approved CP Programme will enable Neveah to tap the Nigerian debt capital markets. Given the numerous opportunities in the agro-commodities and mineral space, United Capital is committed to the growth of the industry which is largely underdeveloped partially due to access to financing.
