Babalakin & Co. will on September 17, 2025 host its maiden Finance Roundtable 1.0, a high-level breakfast session designed to explore how Nigerian businesses can leverage Mauritius for cross-border expansion and financing.
Themed “Structuring for Growth: Leveraging Mauritius for Cross-Border Expansion and Financing,” the roundtable will bring together leading entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals to discuss strategies for accessing international finance and building competitive platforms for growth.
The event is being organised in partnership with Intercontinental Trust Limited (ITL), a Mauritius-based financial and fiduciary services company with operations across Africa and Asia. ITL is licensed by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission and has worked extensively on international structuring and capital flow into African markets.
Speakers include Mabel Okereke, Partner at Babalakin & Co.; Azeez Abiodun, Chief Representative Officer (Nigeria) of Mauritius Commercial Bank; and Kesaven Moothoosamy, Chief Executive Officer of ITL. They are expected to provide insights on international structuring, asset management, and how Nigerian companies can attract capital while maintaining a local focus.
“The Finance Roundtable 1.0 is about bringing international finance to our shores and empowering Nigerian companies to compete on a global stage,” Okereke said. “Mauritius is a trusted international hub, and when used strategically, it can help channel resources back into sectors that matter most for our economy.”
The roundtable will serve as a networking platform for fund managers, high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and thought leaders, while also reflecting Babalakin & Co.’s vision of law as a proactive tool that bridges finance, opportunity, and business growth.
