PAC Capital Limited, one of Nigeria’s foremost investment banking and financial advisory firms, has strengthened its position in Africa’s financial services landscape after securing seven international awards across two globally recognised platforms in 2026.
The recognition, which spans capital markets excellence, cross-border advisory, and infrastructure finance, underscores the firm’s growing influence in structuring complex financial transactions and delivering innovative investment solutions across emerging and frontier markets.
At the Gazet International Awards 2026, PAC Capital dominated five competitive categories, emerging as Best Investment Banking & Financial Advisory Firm – Nigeria 2026, Excellence in Capital Markets & Fundraising Solutions – Nigeria 2026, Best Debt & Equity Capital Advisory Firm – Nigeria 2026, Excellence in Cross-Border Investment & Capital Solutions – Africa 2026, and Outstanding Infrastructure & Project Finance Advisory Firm – Africa 2026.
The firm further consolidated its reputation at the World Business Outlook Awards 2026, where it clinched two additional honours: Most Preferred Investment Banking Firm Nigeria 2026 and Best Investment Banking and Advisory Firm Nigeria 2026.
Together, the seven awards reflect PAC Capital’s institutional strength, regulatory credibility, and sustained track record in delivering bespoke financial solutions across equity capital markets, debt capital markets, structured finance, and specialised advisory services.
Speaking on the recognition, Managing Director Humphrey Oriakhi described the awards as a validation of the firm’s long-term strategy.
“This multi-award recognition is both humbling and affirming,” Oriakhi said. “It reflects the deliberate strategy we have pursued to build a resilient, full-service investment banking platform capable of delivering complex, high-impact transactions across markets. As we continue to deepen our footprint in Africa and expand across Global Africa, our focus remains on creating sustainable value for our clients and stakeholders through innovation, discipline, and strong execution.”
PAC Capital’s growing profile is anchored on its expanding footprint across key African markets and its partnerships with multilateral institutions, global investors, and strategic financial partners. The firm has played active advisory roles across critical sectors including oil and gas, power and energy, infrastructure, aviation, information technology, and the public sector, reinforcing its reputation for versatility in structuring sector-specific financial solutions.
Executive Director, Bolarinwa Sanni, attributed the recognition to the firm’s client-centric approach and consistency in delivery.
“These awards speak to the strength of our client relationships and our ability to consistently deliver tailored financial solutions in an increasingly dynamic market environment,” Sanni said. “We have built a reputation for excellence across capital markets, advisory, and project finance by staying responsive to client needs and maintaining the highest standards of professionalism. We are proud of this milestone and even more excited about the opportunities ahead.”
