Introduction

Growing trend with PE funds and investments in Nigeria.

Growing interest of government institutions to support PE investments

– e.g. the NSIA

This growth has occurred notwithstanding the lack of clarity in laws and
regulations to encourage PE funds and PE investments in the country.

However, the issuance of infrastructure and PE specific regulations by

the SEC shows an increasingly sophisticated approach to the regulation
of asset management and investments in Nigeria.
