Sports broadcasting in Nigeria has evolved into a multibillion-naira industry that powers advertising, sponsorship, and cultural engagement across the continent. From the frenzy of live football coverage to the growing influence of streaming platforms, the sector continues to impact how Nigerians connect with global sports.

Nigeria’s pharmaceutical sector stands at a turning point. With only about a quarter of the nation’s drug demand met through local manufacturing, dependence on imports continues to expose the country to supply chain disruptions and rising costs. Strengthening local production has therefore become both an industrial and public health priority. In this BusinessDay Nigeria, our Team Lead, Francisca Igboanugo, Senior Associate, Omolola Ambrose, and Associate, Emmanuel Ughanze, discuss how innovative technologies can transform Nigeria’s pharmaceutical value chain. They also point out existing legal and financial incentives that manufacturers can leverage to scale production, as well as the regulatory gaps that must be addressed to build a technology-driven, self-sufficient ecosystem.

Stren & Blan Partners is proud to have contributed to the Nigerian Chapter in the Chambers and Partners’ Banking & Finance 2025 edition In this Chambers and Partners article, our Partner, Ozioma Agu, and Associates, David Olajide and Onyinyechi Sandra Isikaku, examine how carefully structured intercreditor arrangements can enhance predictability, protect value, and ensure balance among creditors in Nigeria’s syndicated loan market. Syndicated lending continues to shape Nigeria’s financing landscape as large-scale projects in energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing increasingly rely on multi-lender structures. But as more institutions participate, aligning creditor rights, managing enforcement, and sharing risk have become central to sustaining market confidence. At the heart of this coordination lies the intercreditor agreement (ICA), the framework that governs relationships among lenders, defines repayment priorities, and streamlines security enforcement. In Nigeria, where transactions often involve both local and international financiers, a well-structured ICA can mean the difference between seamless recovery and prolonged dispute.
