Capital Alliance Private Equity: Creating a Private Equity Leader in Nigeria
Abstract
Describes the creation of the first private equity fund in Nigeria and the fund's potential first investment in GS Telecom, a Nigerian telecommunication service company. The fund's managers are keenly aware that a bad first investment could create a vicious circle for the fund. Thus, whether to invest and under what terms is of crucial importance. Can also be taught as a country case on Nigeria with a focus on entrepreneurship, telecommunications, and venture capital.
