The United Kingdom development finance arm, CDC Group, is set to invest $5 billion in Nigeria and other African countries in a bid to create impact in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The group, which announced the investment in a statement on its website, also announced the appointment of Seema Dhanani and Benson Adenuga as new Heads of Office for Kenya and Nigeria, respectively.

According to CDC, Dhanani and Adenuga were appointed because of their deep investment experience and strong local networks which would be instrumental in advancing and accelerating the group’s commitment to invest US$4.5 billion from 2018 – 2021 across Africa.
