Lagos, Nigeria – PAC Capital Limited, a premier investment banking and financial advisory firm, has been distinguished with four major continental awards at the International Business Magazine Awards 2026. This achievement solidifies the firm’s leadership in structuring complex, high-value transactions across Africa’s dynamic markets.
This recognition follows the firm’s previous accolade as Best Transaction Advisory Firm Nigeria in 2025, highlighting a consistent record of excellence and strategic execution. PAC Capital has developed a robust portfolio spanning mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, and bespoke financial advisory, demonstrating deep technical expertise and an intimate understanding of the African business landscape. Its proficiency in navigating diverse regulatory environments and managing multi-market stakeholders is critical in unlocking sustainable value for clients, particularly in cross-border transactions.
Commenting on the honours, Humphrey Oriakhi, Managing Director/CEO of PAC Capital, stated, “We are honoured by this recognition. Receiving four continental awards is a strong validation of our borderless capital solutions initiative and the trust our clients place in us. Cross-border transactions in Africa require resilience and deep market intelligence. Our team remains committed to delivering innovative solutions that enable businesses to scale and create long-term impact.” He added that the awards reflect the strength of the firm’s advisory model and its focus on value-driven deal structuring, an approach increasingly vital as markets become more interconnected.
This milestone reinforces PAC Capital’s standing as a transformative force in African finance. The firm’s success comes at a time when strategic financial advisory is key to navigating complex economic landscapes, including periods of foreign outflows on the NGX and initiatives where the FG introduces industrialisation policy to boost manufacturing. As leaders like the Minister of Finance, Edun, address inflation and the FG plans to open federal technical hubs, the role of adept financial partners in channeling capital towards productive assets becomes paramount. Firms like PAC Capital are essential in guiding investments into the top 10 assets and sectors that will drive continental growth, demonstrating that strategic advisory is central to Africa’s economic development.
