Nigeria faces a staggering annual climate finance gap of $27.2 billion, a stark reminder of the urgent need for sustainable solutions. Recognizing this critical challenge, the Bank of Industry (BoI) has forged a strategic partnership with Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) Africa and the UK Government, marking a significant step towards bridging this gap and fostering a greener future for the nation.

This collaboration announced at a signing ceremony in Lagos, aims to unlock innovative financing mechanisms and support climate-resilient businesses across Nigeria. “This partnership is a transformative step in redefining sustainability efforts in Nigeria,” declared Olasupo Olusi, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of BoI. “It sets a new benchmark for green financing in the region and paves the way for a more sustainable and inclusive future.”

BoI, a key player in driving industrial growth in Nigeria, recognizes the critical role it must play in addressing climate change. To this end, the bank has established a dedicated Climate Financing Desk, a testament to its commitment to supporting adaptation and mitigation projects. This proactive approach will ensure that businesses have access to the necessary financial resources to transition to more sustainable practices and build resilience against the impacts of climate change.
