    Through our subsidiary, Duval Properties Limited, Metis Capital Partners is redefining commercial and residential real estate in West Africa. With a presence in Nigeria and Ghana, we develop and invest in landmark properties that drive urban transformation and long-term economic growth.

    Our portfolio includes Jabi Lake Mall – Abuja’s premier retail and lifestyle destination, developed in partnership with Actis, one of Africa’s leading private equity firms - and One Airport Square – A Grade A, eco-friendly office complex in Accra, Ghana, setting new standards for sustainable commercial real estate.

    At Metis, we see real estate as more than just buildings—we create thriving commercial hubs and vibrant communities, bringing global-quality development to Africa’s fastest-growing cities. Through strategic partnerships and long-term investment, we are shaping the future of West African real estate.

  • Agriculture

    At Metis Capital Partners, we are investing in the future of African agriculture—one of the continent’s most vital industries. Through our subsidiary, Nimbel Shaw Limited, we are building large-scale, sustainable palm oil plantations in Nigeria, leveraging our expertise in agribusiness, investment, and strategic partnerships.

    In collaboration with Kuramo Capital, a leading Africa-focused private equity fund, and PHC, Congo’s largest palm oil plantation operator, we are scaling high-yield, commercially viable palm oil production that meets global standards. Our focus is on sustainability, efficiency, and long-term value creation, ensuring that our plantations contribute to both economic growth and environmental responsibility.

    By combining local expertise with world-class investment and operational excellence, we are driving the transformation of Nigeria’s palm oil industry—positioning it as a key player in regional and global supply chains.

  • Solid Minerals

    At Metis Capital Partners, we are driving Africa’s next frontier in critical minerals processing and value addition. Through our subsidiary, Africa Critical Elements, we are building beneficiation facilities in Nigeria, starting with lithium and tantalum—two essential minerals for the global energy transition and advanced technology industries.

    Our strategy is clear: move beyond raw material exports and create in-country value chains that power industrial growth, generate skilled jobs, and position Nigeria as a key player in the global supply of critical minerals.

    With a commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and world-class standards, we are partnering with global investors, industry leaders, and policymakers to develop a robust and competitive minerals sector—ensuring that Africa captures more of the value from its vast natural resources.

Our Chairman, Hakeem Belo-Osagie, leads with a vision for financial excellence, while partners from Metis Capital provide board leadership and strategic oversight to ensure long-term value creation.

    We invest in the bold. Our venture capital strategy is built on a deep conviction that African entrepreneurs are shaping the future—not just of the continent, but of global industries.

    We back high-growth companies across multiple sectors, leveraging our decades of experience in law, finance, telecoms, and energy to help founders navigate complexity and scale with confidence.

    Beyond capital, we provide strategic insight, global networks, and operational expertise, ensuring our portfolio companies thrive in both African and international markets. We partner for the long term, working alongside world-class investors and operators to unlock value and drive sustainable impact.

  • Energy

    At Metis Capital Partners, we see energy as both a fundamental driver of economic development and a sector poised for transformation. As Africa's demand for electricity and fuel continues to grow, we are exploring opportunities in both renewable and traditional energy markets to ensure reliable, efficient, and sustainable solutions. Our focus spans residential and commercial solar energy, oil and gas trading, and the development of sustainable fuels and biofuels, positioning us to play a leading role in shaping the continent’s energy future.

  • Infrastructure

    At Metis Capital Partners, we recognize that strong infrastructure is the backbone of economic growth. As Africa continues to urbanize and industrialize, we are actively exploring maritime and digital infrastructure opportunities that will enhance Nigeria’s connectivity, trade capacity, and technological advancement. With a focus on ports, logistics hubs, and data, our goal is to build the critical systems that enable businesses to thrive and economies to scale.
