Episode description
Big infrastructure projects require big financing deals. But getting to that point often involves ingenuity and innovation. In this episode we explore new methods for financing infrastructure projects in Africa. Co-host Carol Pineau looks at how the Azura Edo power plant in Nigeria overcame a slew of obstacles to get a deal signed.
Later Pineau hosts a roundtable featuring Alain Ebobisse, CEO of Africa50, Acha Leke, Chairman of McKinsey's Africa Region, and Ibukun Awosika, Chairman of First Bank of Nigeria.
