Mauritius Finance Roadshow: the Mauritius IFC takes centre stage at the Lagos Business Forum
Lagos marked a dynamic second chapter of the Mauritius Finance Roadshow 2026, bringing together more than 200 Nigerian investors, business leaders, financial institutions, private capital professionals and advisers on 10 September 2026 at the Four Points by Sheraton, Lagos.
Held under the theme “Mauritius: A Business Hub of Choice for Africa”, the Forum explored how the Mauritius International Financial Centre can support investment structuring, capital mobilisation, private wealth, funds, fintech, trade facilitation and regional business expansion.
The event opened with an address by Seun Onayiga, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ACQ Managers and MD/CEO of ACQ Capital, setting the tone for a morning focused on practical investment linkages and stronger business ties between Mauritius and Nigeria.
A key highlight of the Forum was the expert-led panel discussion featuring Nousrath Bhugeloo, Executive Director & Chairperson of Nexus Global Financial Services, Terry Antoinette, Head Middle East & Africa, of DTOS Group, Washim Toorabally, Managing Director of MantaRay Management Limited, Abiodun Azeez FCA, Chief Representative Officer of the MCB Group and Tajnisha Rambocus Bissessur, Associate Director – Business Development of Trident Trust. The discussion was moderated by Faraz Rojid, CEO of Mauritius Finance.
One message resonated strongly throughout the discussions: Mauritius and Nigeria have far more to gain from collaboration than competition. As Obi Ibekwe, CEO of EnterpriseNGR, highlighted in her closing remarks, Nigeria brings scale, capital and entrepreneurial energy, while Mauritius offers an internationally connected financial centre with deep expertise in cross-border structuring, funds, private wealth and corporate services.
Our sincere appreciation goes to EnterpriseNGR, AVCA - The African Private Capital Association , our speakers, sponsors, members and the Mauritian delegation for making the Lagos Forum such a meaningful and engaging success.
