Rosehill Group Strengthens Nigeria–Angola Economic Ties with $200M Agricultural Investment
At the Golden Jubilee celebration of Angola’s independence, held on November 6th at Fraser Suites, Abuja, to commemorate Angola’s National Independence Day on November 11th, Rosehill Group Chairman & Founder, SULEIMAN YAHYAH, OON, announced a landmark $200 million agricultural investment in Angola, in partnership with the country’s sovereign wealth fund.
Spanning 100,000 hectares across Huambo, Biye, Wila, and Luanda provinces, this initiative underscores Rosehill Group’s commitment to driving sustainable growth and strengthening intra-African economic partnerships. The investment also aligns with broader continental development goals through collaboration with the Africa Energy Bank (AEB) and the African Petroleum Producers’ Organization (APPO).
Reflecting on the deep historical ties between Nigeria and Angola, Yahyah paid tribute to the founding fathers of the relationship—including General Murtala Mohammed, General Olusegun Obasanjo, General Ike Nwachukwu, and President António Agostinho Neto—while emphasizing the potential synergy between Nigeria’s human capital and Angola’s vast resources.
He further noted the strengthening cultural connections between both nations, highlighting Angola’s growing admiration for Nigerian arts, food, movies, and music, and praised the country’s law and order, stability, and openness to investment.
“Luanda stands out as one of the most receptive locations for Nigerian businesses,” Yahyah remarked, commending Angola’s progressive government and business-friendly climate.
As both nations celebrate 50 years of Angola’s sovereignty, Rosehill Group reaffirms its commitment to building strategic, high-impact partnerships that foster shared prosperity across the continent.
