Rosehill Group has announced a $200 million agricultural investment in Angola, marking a major step toward deepening Africa-led economic growth and strengthening regional food security.
The announcement was made by Rosehill Group Chairman and Founder, Suleiman Yahyah, OON, during Angola’s Golden Jubilee independence celebration held on recently at Fraser Suites, Abuja.
The project, developed in partnership with Angola’s sovereign wealth fund, will cover 100,000 hectares of farmland across the provinces of Huambo, Biye, Wila, and Luanda, focusing on commercial-scale food production, value addition, and rural employment.
Yahyah said the investment reflects Rosehill Group’s belief in Africa’s potential to finance and manage its own development, noting that the initiative aligns with broader continental goals championed by the Africa Energy Bank (AEB) and the African Petroleum Producers’ Organization (APPO).
He described the partnership as “a demonstration of what is possible when African nations invest in each other’s growth,” adding that the project would promote intra-African trade and strengthen South–South cooperation.
Yahyah also highlighted Angola’s stable governance, peace, and investment-friendly environment, calling Luanda “one of the most receptive destinations for Nigerian businesses.”
He praised Angola’s cultural appreciation of Nigerian arts, music, and cuisine, describing it as soft power that reinforces the continent’s shared identity.
As Angola celebrates 50 years of independence, Rosehill Group reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable agricultural transformation, cross-border investment, and inclusive prosperity across Africa.
