In a continued display of leadership and excellence in Nigeria’s capital markets, United Capital has been honoured with the Innovative Issuance of the Year Award at the Investment Banking Awards Dinner organised by the Association of Issuing Houses of Nigeria (AIHN). The award was presented at a ceremony held on Thursday, 13 November 2025, in Lagos.
United Capital received this recognition for its pivotal role as Lead Issuing House and Coordinator of the landmark Inaugural FGN Domestic Dollar Bond, Nigeria’s first-ever US dollar–denominated bond issued in the domestic market. The historic transaction recorded exceptional market reception achieving over 180% subscription and raising more than US$900 million from domestic and diaspora investors.
This milestone issuance introduced a new asset class to the Nigerian market, broadened access to USD investment opportunities, and supported the Federal Government’s capital-raising efforts for critical economic development projects. The groundbreaking transaction has since become a benchmark for public-sector capital raises, underscoring the power of strategic partnership, disciplined execution, and bold innovation.
In addition to this win, United Capital received nominations across five major categories:
