Zipline Plans 12 New Hubs as Nigeria Becomes Its Biggest African Bet

Nigeria has a healthcare supply chain problem that has quietly cost lives for decades, empty shelves, missed deliveries, patients travelling hours for drugs that were never there. Zipline is done running pilots.

The company is scaling from three to fifteen distribution hubs across Nigeria by 2028, targeting 20,000 health facilities and putting fast access to medical commodities within reach of 100 million Nigerians. With a federal framework, solar-powered infrastructure, and AI-managed supply chains, Nigeria has become Zipline's largest African market, and its most ambitious infrastructure bet yet. This is what it looks like when a drone company starts building a nation's backbone.

MTN to Join Airtel, Globacom to Restore Airtime Lending After Regulatory Pause

MTN Nigeria is set to restore its Xtratime airtime lending service after the FCCPC suspended enforcement of its controversial DEON digital lending regulations, following a Federal High Court order. The move reverses MTN's cautious stance from its May 4 earnings call and puts the company back in line with Airtel and Globacom, which had already resumed lending. The underlying legal dispute over regulatory jurisdiction between the FCCPC and NCC remains unresolved.

NALA Secures $50 Million Credit Facility for Stablecoin Payments

NALA just secured $50 million to build the stablecoin rails connecting Africa, Europe, and the US, and the founder behind it was once ordered by the Tanzanian government to shut the whole thing down. Benjamin Fernandes rebuilt from nothing, scaled a B2B payments platform to $1 billion in 18 months, and just locked in debt financing from a MUFG-backed joint venture , without giving up a single extra share. The stablecoin era in African payments is no longer a pitch deck. It is live, it is moving money, and NALA is carrying it.

Here's what it means for the future of real estate technology across Egypt and the region.

African Compliance Firm Smartcomply Enters UK Market

UK firms have been burning money trying to make sense of African transactions, and losing the battle. Smartcomply just landed in London with the one thing they've been missing: a compliance platform that actually understands how money moves in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana. Adhere monitors over $1 billion in transactions monthly, cuts false positives by 40%, and plugs directly into local identity systems like the BVN. This is what African-built infrastructure looks like when it goes global.

AHL Venture Partners Closes First Africa Credit Fund at $30.5 Million

AHL Venture Partners just proved that the smartest money in Africa doesn't always chase equity, it lends. With a $30.5M first close on its debut Africa Credit Fund, the Nairobi-based firm is turning nearly 20 years of quiet debt investing into a full-scale private credit platform built for the businesses African banks keep turning away. This is what patient capital looks like when it finally scales.
