The initiative targets aviation, infrastructure, trade, natural gas, blue economy, and mining, promising to accelerate economic growth, job creation, and regional integration across the continent.
Investing in Africa’s connectivity and growth
Princess Adebowale Odutola, Chair of Elan Vert Nigeria, highlighted Nigeria’s pivotal role in the project. “This $600 billion commitment is not just about capital deployment—it’s about building Africa’s future through partnerships, sustainable development, and inclusive growth. Nigeria is at the heart of this vision,” she said.
In aviation, Future Union plans to establish a state-of-the-art Aviation School in Lagos, modernize airports, expand domestic and international flight networks, and invest in aircraft leasing and maintenance services.
Infrastructure development will focus on completing critical roads, railways, bridges, and smart city projects, enhancing connectivity and fostering industrial growth. On trade, the plan emphasizes regional commerce through modern logistics hubs, e-commerce platforms, and cross-border partnerships.
Blue economy and minerals fuel development
The energy component leverages Nigeria’s abundant natural gas reserves to drive industrial growth and clean energy solutions. Investments in the blue economy will focus on coastal infrastructure, marine transport, fisheries, and sustainable ocean resource management.
Meanwhile, mining initiatives will prioritize technology-driven, environmentally responsible extraction of Africa’s mineral wealth.
Experts say the $600 billion plan could unlock millions of jobs, boost GDP, and position Africa as a top-tier global investment destination. For Nigeria, the initiative offers a pathway to economic diversification, enhanced infrastructure, and stronger international investment partnerships.

Future Union Holdings will collaborate with the Federal Government, financial institutions, and private sector partners to ensure transparent, impactful, and long-term project execution.
Headquartered in Qatar, Future Union Holdings manages a diverse portfolio across multiple asset classes and geographies.
