To expand its capital base to meet the needs of its customers and contribute to the economic growth of Nigeria, the Pitan-led BOI made successful forays into the international market raising about $3.8bn in the last four years.
This includes a $750mn syndicated medium-term loan in 2018 (fully paid); a euro 1bn syndicated loan in March 2020; a $1bn syndicated loan in December 2020; and a euro 750mn Senior Eurobond (the first by any African national DFI) in February 2022.
