↑ 2%Tinubu approves $75m FG investment in Flutterwave ahead of planned IPO. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a $75 million federal government investment in African fintech giant Flutterwave, as the company advances preparations for a proposed Initial Public Offering (IPO). The disclosure was made on Monday by the President's Special Assistant, Dada Olusegun, via a post on social media, confirming that the deal is moving toward completion. While specific details on the structure, valuation, and timeline were not immediately released, the investment marks a significant show of government backing for one of Nigeria's most prominent technology firms. Nigeria Tourism Guide Sources indicate the investment is expected to be executed through the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MoFI), the government's investment vehicle. The move aligns with broader efforts by the Federal Government to support high-growth sectors and expand Nigeria's digital economy. The approval comes shortly after Flutterwave secured regulatory clearance to operate banking services in Nigeria - a development widely regarded as a milestone in the company's evolution from a payment processor to a broader financial services provider. The new licence enables Flutterwave to expand beyond its earlier designation as a Virtual Asset Service Provider and offer a wider suite of financial services through its existing infrastructure. The $75 million commitment forms part of Flutterwave's broader capital-raising plans ahead of its anticipated IPO. The company is reportedly targeting a total raise of about $250 million through the public offering.
Tinubu endorses $75m Flutterwave deal to boost digital economy. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has endorsed a United States dollar 75 million participation by the Federal Government in fintech company Flutterwave, in a move seen as a boost for Nigeria's digital economy space. The funding will be channelled via the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) and forms part of Flutterwave's plan to secure about $250 million through a public share sale. The African payments company, currently estimated to be worth over $3 billion, reportedly approached the Federal Government in 2025 to take part in the capital-raising exercise as part of efforts to build investor trust and attract state-level confidence. Prior to approval, authorities commissioned two of the globally recognised "Big Four" audit and advisory firms to scrutinise the company's books and operations, ensuring full compliance and transparency in the proposed arrangement. Officials familiar with the development said the decision is aimed at highlighting Nigeria's tech innovation capacity internationally while opening additional funding channels into the digital sector. They also noted that the share offering is expected to widen participation, allowing Nigerian investors greater access to ownership in one of Africa's prominent financial technology firms. Interest in the deal is already reported to be high, with current shareholders seeking to expand their holdings while new institutional investors position themselves for entry. Market observers believe the offer could attract demand far above expectations, given the company's expansion trajectory.

Flutterwave gains Nigerian banking licence to run microfinance services. The permit opens the door for Flutterwave to access the national market directly clearing and settlement systems and streamline transaction processing without having to rely on commercial banks to do so, as was the case before. Reading Time: 2 mins read Africa's payments giant Flutterwave has received regulatory approval in Nigeria, where its operational headquarters are located, to operate a microfinance unit. The move will enable it to branch out into lending and holding deposits on behalf of customers. Those services were previously outside the domain of the fintech powerhouse, which has built a reputation in payments, cross-border money transfers, switching, and card processing over 10 years of operation. "This milestone allows us to make our infrastructure more efficient and deliver faster, more reliable financial services," Olugbenga Agboola, founder and CEO, said in a statement on Thursday. "By operating directly within the financial system, we can streamline money movement, accelerate settlement for merchants, and build products that support sustainable long-term growth," he stated further. The permit opens the door for Flutterwave to directly access national clearing and settlement systems and streamline transaction processing without relying on commercial banks, as was the case before. It now has greater flexibility to oversee the flow of funds across its platform and to earn more value by handling transactions independently. Flutterwave, Africa's most valuable startup, will face immediate rivalry from Moniepoint, which attained unicorn status in October 2024, and PalmPay, named by the Financial Times as Africa's second fastest-growing company in 2025. Moniepoint only days ago acquired Nairobi-based cloud-based restaurant management platform Orda Africa and a 78 per cent stake in Kenya's Sumac Microfinance Bank. Neobank revolution. Traditional banks in Africa's most populous country, still held back by legacy banking bottlenecks, are fast losing the consumer banking space to digital banks, which are leveraging technological edge and innovation to disrupt banking operations while winning over millions of underserved Nigerians without access to financial services. Moniepoint, for instance, processes 26 million payments daily with 10 million plus users on its clientele, while PalmPay, as of last July, was already handling 15 million transactions every day with 35 million users signed on to its platform, according to both companies' websites. Competition has grown even fiercer in recent years after big telcos like MTN Nigeria and Airtel set up payments units, MoMo PSB and SmartCash, respectively, to gain a slice of the multi-trillion naira market. Unlike in the past, when cash drove communal nightlife across the country, digital transactions now power that segment of Nigeria's informal economy. A report by Moniepoint released in February and titled, "A Case Study on the Business of Community Nightlife in Nigeria", revealed that over 27,000 clubs, bars and lounges processed three transactions per second across its network. Flutterwave's planned initial public offering, in the works for years now, received a boost this January after the firm bought Mono Technologies Nigeria Limited, a pioneer in open banking infrastructure in Africa. The company expects Mono's "Plaid-like" infrastructure to strengthen its prospects of transitioning into a full-stack financial data and infrastructure company, a precondition to listing on the Nigerian Exchange and NASDAQ.
