Odu’a Investment Company Limited has rolled out a new five-year strategic roadmap aimed at accelerating growth, strengthening resilience and repositioning the group as a major force in Nigeria’s investment landscape.
The strategy, tagged SRC 2.0 (2026–2030) and branded around the “30 by 2030” ambition, sets clear financial targets for the group by the end of the decade. These include growing total assets to N1 trillion, achieving N50 billion in group revenue and delivering N30 billion in profit before tax.
Speaking at the group’s 2026 annual directors’ meeting in Lagos, the chairman of Odu’a Investment Company Limited, Otunba Bimbo Ashiru, said the new direction reflects a shift from board-level governance focus to building a resilient and enduring enterprise.
According to Ashiru, resilience goes beyond survival and requires the ability to absorb shocks, convert challenges into opportunities for innovation and emerge stronger from periods of uncertainty. He charged directors to provide insight and foresight, ensuring that investments and risk management decisions align with the group’s long-term sustainability goals.
Brandspur Banking News Desk reports that the group’s managing director, Abdulrahman Yinusa, told directors and subsidiary executives that 2025 marked a turning point for the organisation. He said management deliberately chose to exceed performance targets, reinforce the balance sheet and take decisive actions across its investment portfolio.
Yinusa disclosed that proceeds from recent divestments have been channelled into healthcare, energy and agribusiness, sectors identified as key growth drivers under the new long-term strategy. He noted that these sectors offer strong potential for value creation, revenue expansion and economic impact.
The annual meeting also featured expert-led sessions focused on emerging business risks and opportunities. Discussions covered artificial intelligence adoption, organisational culture, enterprise risk management and evolving Nigerian tax reforms, highlighting the group’s emphasis on innovation and sound governance.
During one of the sessions, Professor Olayinka David-West of Lagos Business School urged the group to adopt an enterprise-wide framework to guide artificial intelligence readiness and deployment across its operations.
Organisational development strategist, Mrs Banwo Adeosun, emphasised that corporate culture plays a critical role in execution speed and performance, describing it as a leading indicator of how effectively strategy is implemented.
In another presentation, risk and strategy specialist, Dr Wale Fawehinmi, encouraged management to institutionalise “red-team” reviews when making major capital commitments, stressing the importance of structured challenge in decision-making.
Tax and fiscal policy expert, Mr Tayo Ogungbenro, also analysed recent Nigerian tax reforms, outlining their potential implications for holding company structures, dividend flows and real estate investment vehicles.
With the launch of SRC 2.0, Odu’a Investment is positioning itself for accelerated growth while reinforcing its focus on resilience, innovation and long-term value creation.
