What it takes to Build a Nigerian Car | issue 149

What does it really take to build and scale a business in Nigeria?

Our new edition goes inside the companies, capital decisions and market opportunities shaping that question.

On the cover, Nord Automobiles founder Oluwatobi Ajayi open up on the economics of building a Nigerian car, from expensive capital and imported components to the volumes required to make deeper local manufacturing commercially viable.

We also feature John Alamu, the 34-year-old entrepreneur building a major cocoa business through acquisitions, manufacturing and institutional capital.

In Opportunity Watch, we examine a market where Nigeria still imports an estimated 95% to 99% of its diagnostic products, and ask where the real opportunities remain as local manufacturing capacity expands.

This edition is about more than spotting opportunities. It looks at the economics, capital and scale required to turn them into businesses that work.
