About Rusumo Capital

We deliver market-ready issuance solutions backed by robust structuring, disciplined execution, and deep regulatory expertise.
Our Story
The name Rusumo is inspired by the confluence where the two rivers that feed the Nile merge to form the world’s longest river. In the same way, Rusumo Capital stands at the confluence of African enterprise and the capital required to fuel its growth—structuring, coordinating, and channelling diverse sources of financing into clear, disciplined, and market-ready capital solutions for issuers.
Historically, Nigerian short-term fixed income instruments such as commercial paper, treasury bills, bankers’ acceptances and certificates of deposit have offered compelling yields to local investors, but remained largely inaccessible to international capital due to structural, liquidity, transparency and pricing constraints. Recent reforms by the Central Bank of Nigeria and FMDQ OTC Securities Exchange have transformed this landscape—yet most global investors still lack an efficient way to participate.
