A financial and investment company, Emerging Africa Group, has said that it is poised to leverage the viable business nature of Rivers State to bring investment opportunities to the South South region of Nigeria.

The financial company disclosed this at the launch of its Port Harcourt office recently, noting that it aimed to deepen access to finance for businesses of all sizes, communities, governments and all kinds of institutions.

Executive Vice Chair of Emerging Africa Board, Dr. Tonyin Sanni, in an interview with newsmen, harped on the importance of local content. She said that the expansion underlines the company’s unwavering commitment to extending its impact and fostering growth across diverse communities throughout Africa.

While saying that the company aims at employing youths and members of host communities, Sanni said the company has been steadfast in its mission to catalyse Africa’s emergence as a global hub for environmental, social and governance investments, as well as finance.

She said: “As a business, we are employing the youth and members of this community. We will continue to provide and create jobs for the people of Rivers State. The businesses we will support to deepen financial access to them will also help to employ more citizens and residents of this state.

“We are driven by a desire to make an impact, and we think that the people of South-South, Nigeria, deserve an opportunity to grow and scale up the same way that has been given to those other communities where we serve.”

She added that the company facilitates a wide range of investment and financing transactions while leveraging strong and stable partnerships with domestic and international partners, such as local and regional public and private sector issuers, and sovereign and sub-national governments.

“As we embark on this new chapter, we reaffirm our steadfast commitment to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance, fostering a culture of excellence and integrity, as well as championing the economic transformation of Africa
