The Argentil Group has unveiled a new corporate identity, marking what it describes as a turning point in its growth strategy and ambition to play a larger role in capital mobilisation and advisory across Africa.
The rebranding, announced at an event in Lagos on April 27, reflects the firm’s evolution from a traditional advisory outfit into a broader investment platform spanning private equity, asset management and capital markets.
Adekunle Adedeji, the company’s chairperson and co-founder said the new identity aligns with the firm’s expanded mandate and long-term positioning.
“This corporate rebranding represents the next chapter of Argentil. It reflects who we are today and the scale of the ambition that lies ahead,” he said, noting the firm’s focus on deploying capital into key sectors that drive economic development.

The move comes at a time when Nigeria is seeking to restore investor confidence amid macroeconomic reforms and currency volatility, creating opportunities for advisory firms that can bridge capital and policy.
In a keynote address, Bolaji Osunsanya, group chief executive, SAYS Energy Group, said institutions like Argentil would be critical in rebuilding trust in the market.
“Nigeria’s next growth cycle will be built on credibility, policy, patient capital, and trusted institutions,” he said, adding that firms capable of structuring investable opportunities will shape the country’s recovery trajectory.
A congratulatory message was also delivered by Sanyade Okoli, senior special adviser to the president on Finance and the Economy.
The event featured a policy-focused panel discussion on investor confidence and capital flows, with participants including Fola Laoye, co-founder & CEO, Iwosan Healthcare Systems Limited, Dayo Idowu, partner, DLA Piper Africa, Lola Apampa, director, Kuramo Capital Management, Razaq Ahmed, managing director Cowrywise and Emeka Nkemakolam, assistant general manager/head, Energy & Power, Fidelity Bank Plc.
Chief Executive Officer of Argentil Capital Limited, Femi Oladehin, who moderated the discussion, said policy clarity and private-sector participation would be key to unlocking Nigeria’s next phase of growth.

Co-founder Olumide Ogunfowora said the rebrand also reinforces the firm’s commitment to supporting financial inclusion and delivering tailored capital solutions to businesses and institutions.
Founded in 2009, Argentil operates across investment banking, principal investments and asset management, with a London-based arm connecting international capital to African markets.
The firm said its refreshed identity reflects a stronger focus on advisory, transaction execution and strategic partnerships as it positions for its next phase of expansion.
