Infrastructure remains central to Africa’s growth story, and we are deliberate in deploying capital in ways that are both commercially sound and developmentally impactful. We are proud to be playing a role in shaping resilient financial pathways for the continent.”
Coronation Infrastructure Fund has established itself as a key participant in Nigeria’s private credit landscape, providing tailored financing solutions across energy, transport, and essential infrastructure sectors.

Mayowa Ikotun, Head, Coronation Infrastructure Funds, added: “Our focus has been to build a platform that consistently translates investor capital into tangible assets that drive economic productivity. This award reinforces the strength of our execution and the relevance of private credit in bridging Africa’s infrastructure gap.”
As Coronation continues to expand its infrastructure capabilities, the firm remains focused on strengthening its platforms, deepening its talent pool, and delivering sustainable wealth creation for its clients and partners.
