The oil and gas financial arrangements anchor on the opportunities served by the Nigeria Content Act, which promotes partnerships with sound foreign technical partners and provides financial leverage for deals it generates.
Based on partnerships with global capital owners, investors, and sponsors, we arrange offshore project financing for bankable deals in the three sectors of oil and gas, marine, and hospitality services (hotels) providing for payback (capital and interest) recovery and exchange risks. Other risks we look to mitigate include political and market risks. Our key mitigation strategy hinge on primarily identifying deals that are heavily denominated in foreign currency, export-related deals even if volumetric, and strong sponsor and technical support for deals; and for PPPs, political risk insurance with the participation of multilaterals.
