Global Institutional Capital Commits Over $1 Billion to Africa's Sovereign Development Trust® (ASDT), Underwriting Exclusive M&A Strategy for Sovereign Asset Control

Octa Capital Investment LLC, a prominent Dubai-based private equity and capital-raising firm, today confirmed the formalisation of a major strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Africa's Sovereign Development Trust® (ASDT), operating under its management entity, The Ndege Group.

This critical alliance is initiated by an immediate capital commitment valued at $1 billion, designated as the precursor to a substantial, unlimited funding pipeline. This commitment is dedicated to underwriting the Trust's self-sovereign development agenda across the African continent and signifies a decisive alignment between sophisticated global capital and the ASDT's mandate to forge a financially independent Africa. The agreement was concluded following a successful private placement programme.

- Strategic Mandate: Sovereign Asset Acquisition -

Octa Capital, functioning as a multi-family office with an 18-year track record of deployment across key African sectors, will strategically focus its support on the Trust's core pillar of Sovereign Finance. This support centers on two critical areas:

Sovereign M&A Strategy: Bolstering ASDT's strategy for the merger and acquisition of foundational sovereign assets-including strategic farms, vital mines, and the initial issuance of sovereign development bonds-across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Commercial Operationalisation: Accelerating the deployment of capital into ASDT's high-impact commercial operations with a primary focus on sustainable and green projects.

- Tangible Execution and Validation -

The partnership has already demonstrated success with the first capital deployment funding the landmark 2024 Waste-to-Wealth project in Rivers State, Nigeria. This project was executed through Octa Capital's energy Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), Omene Energy.

This tangible execution validates the Trust's revolutionary approach, which seeks to establish a unified, self-determined, and prosperous Africa from the high-level policy down to commercial operations.

- Sovereign Context and The Sandton Symposium -

This strategic funding framework is intrinsically linked to continental policy discussions. The overarching principles of this pivotal alliance will be further explored at the landmark Sandton Symposium 2025 in Johannesburg, where the operational frameworks for sovereign security, finance, and infrastructure-including the United African Defence Force (UADF)-are being officially defined.

Octa Capital is strategically positioned to execute several similar-sized transactions, providing the sustained financial momentum required for The Ndege Group to establish a new, self-reliant economic paradigm on the continent.
