The standard behind Nigeria's most trusted holding group

Aquila Capital Limited was incorporated under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a private company limited by shares. The Aquila name — derived from the Latin for eagle, a symbol of strength, vision, precision and altitude — captures everything this group aspires to be: sharp-eyed about opportunity, powerful in execution, and always rising above the ordinary.

The group's roots trace back to its earliest subsidiary, Aquila Leasing Limited, established to fill a critical gap in Nigeria's financial landscape — providing accessible equipment leasing and credit facilitation to businesses that needed assets to grow but lacked the upfront capital to acquire them.

As Nigeria's economy evolved, so did the Aquila Group. Aquila Logistics Limited was formed to address the growing demand for professional, managed logistics services — fleet management, personnel movement, haulage and outsourcing — that businesses increasingly needed as they scaled.

Then on 8 September 2008, the group formalised its investment capabilities with the launch of Aquila Asset Management Limited — growing into one of Nigeria's most respected boutique asset managers, serving corporations, foundations, schools, religious organisations and individuals.

Today, Aquila Capital Limited sits at the apex of this group — providing strategic direction, governance and shared resources across all three subsidiaries, offering a uniquely integrated value proposition.
