Congratulations to Ekiti Baptist High School, Igede-Ekiti, winners of the 2026 Agbeyewa Cup! They secured the title with a 3-2 victory over Community High School, Osin-Ekiti, at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium in Ado-Ekiti.

We also congratulate the first runners-up, Community Grammar School; the second runners-up, Ilumoba Grammar School; and the third runners-up, Moba Grammar School, who also went home with cash prizes courtesy of Agbeyewa Farms.

Now in its fourth edition, the annual Agbeyewa Cup brought together 140 schools from all 16 Local Government Areas of Ekiti State, giving young people the opportunity to compete, build relationships and represent their communities.

For our agribusiness, Agbeyewa Farm, the Agbeyewa Cup is one way we contribute to the communities around us. Beyond growing our business in Ekiti, we believe in supporting initiatives that give young people opportunities to develop, connect and thrive.

We remain committed to creating value and transforming lives in the communities where we operate.

"An entrepreneur, investor, home healthcare innovator, civic leader and philanthropist." - Words at the the 14th convocation of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), where our Chairman, Niyi John Olajide, received an Honorary Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.).

The university's citation recognised him for his advocacy for better access to healthcare, quality education and the thousands of jobs he has created in the state through our agribusiness, Agbeyewa Farms and our hospitality business, Glocient Hospitality, managers of Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort.

Capital is only one part of investing in Africa. Knowing the markets, understanding the people and knowing how to turn opportunities into viable businesses matter just as much.

Sameh Shenouda, Executive Director and Chief Investment Officer at Africa Finance Corporation, shared this perspective in a conversation with our Chairman, Niyi John Olajide, at our 2nd Annual Cavista Holdings U.S.-Africa Leadership Dinner.

Across Africa, markets have their own realities, and what works in one may not work in another. Investors need more than capital. They need local knowledge, the right partnerships and the ability to execute.

This is an approach we understand well at Cavista Holdings, where we invest in and operate businesses across agriculture, hospitality, fintech and technology. Our Leadership Dinner brings investors and operators together to exchange perspectives, build relationships and explore opportunities for investment across the U.S. and Africa.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, spoke about the impact of our businesses in the state during the conferment of an Honorary Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.) degree on our Chairman, Niyi John Olajide, by Afe Babalola University.

Through our agribusiness, Agbeyewa Farms, and our hospitality company, Glocient Hospitality, which manages Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort & Conference Center we have created hundreds of jobs and helped reshape Ekiti’s agriculture and tourism landscape.

We are grateful for the recognition, and proud of what it points to. Ekiti is where much of our story has been built, and we remain committed to building there.

Yesterday, Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD) conferred an Honorary Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.) degree on our Chairman, Niyi John Olajide, recognising work that has shaped enterprise in the state.

His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja II), the Ooni of Ife; HRM Oba Adejugbe, the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti; and the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, joined the university community, colleagues and family for the conferment.

We see this honour as recognition of how we build: treating the places we operate as places we belong to, and measuring success by the jobs created and the lives changed there.

Congratulations Chairman!

We congratulate our Chairman, Niyi John Olajide, on the conferment of an Honorary Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.) degree by Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti.

We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved honour and the vision that continues to guide our work.

The most valuable partnerships are the ones where both sides create value.

John Jovanovic, President and Chairman of the Export-Import Bank of the United States, spoke about this in his conversation with our Chairman, Niyi John Olajide, at our 2nd Annual Cavista Holdings U.S.-Africa Leadership Dinner. His point cuts both ways: African industrialisation needs the technology and equipment American companies can supply, and American companies need reliable partners in African markets to stay competitive globally. Each side has a stake in the other's success, and that is what makes the relationship hold.

This is the kind of relationship we want to help build through the Leadership Dinner: one where investment goes beyond commercial interests to create opportunities for businesses and economies in both the United States and Africa to grow.

On Tuesday, 13 October, in Abuja, we joined the Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Econom to launch Destination 2030 (D30), Nigeria’s national data platform for the creative economy and tourism. Built by our technology business, Cavista Technologies, D30 brings sector data together to help investors, governments and businesses identify opportunities and make informed decisions.

The Honourable Minister, Barrister Hannatu Musa Musawa, unveiled the platform alongside key government representatives, including the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Abdulkarim Ozi Ibrahim; the Special Adviser to the President on Partnerships and Innovation, Imran Garba Duba; and the Director General of the National Council for Arts and Culture, Obi Asika.

Representing us were Olumide Olayomi, Executive Director and Vice President, Government and External Affairs, Cavista Holdings; Kabir Shagaya, Director of Strategy, Cavista Holdings; Oyebola Morakinyo, Vice President and General Manager, Cavista Technologies Nigeria; and Faiza Galadanci, Operations, Government and External Affairs Manager, Cavista Holdings.

From tourist attractions to creative industry mapping and infrastructure audits, D30 helps stakeholders understand the sector’s potential, identify gaps and spot investment opportunities. With the National Bureau of Statistics as statistical partner, D30 supports the Ministry’s targets of three million jobs and a $100 billion contribution from the sector by 2030, towards President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s goal of a $1 trillion economy.

Our 2nd Annual U.S.-Africa Leadership Dinner in New York, hosted with the Corporate Council on Africa, brought U.S. export finance, African development finance and U.S. policy on Africa into the same conversation as the operators who build on the continent. Each of them sees a deal from a different side, which is why we brought them together into the same room.

One thing that stood out is how a sector-by-sector conversation raises the bar for credibility. Once the question shifts from Africa to cassava processing or software engineering, investors look for a partner who already runs that business on the ground and can show results. A track record in the sector now does the work a continental pitch used to do.
