Welcome to the Nigerian Capital Development Fund (NCDF) — a beacon of hope, a catalyst for transformation, and a movement powered by purpose.
My name is Hareter Babatunde Oralusi, and I have the profound honour of serving as the Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NCDF. This platform was born not out of profit alone, but out of a burden — a calling to answer Nigeria’s most urgent needs with capital that listens, heals, builds, and empowers. Our mission is simple yet bold: to drive inclusive prosperity, fuel sustainable development, and mobilise the strength of our people, both at home and in the diaspora, for nation-building.
For me, NCDF is personal. I have walked the path of diaspora dreams and grassroots determination. I’ve seen the hunger for opportunity, and I’ve felt the urgency for systems that serve the people. This is why NCDF is more than a financial institution — it is a development revolution, a bridge connecting aspiration to action, and capital to communities.
To every entrepreneur, policymaker, diaspora citizen, and global partner, I welcome you. Let us build together, invest with purpose, and ignite a legacy of impact that future generations will thank us for.
Visionary. Diaspora Capital Pioneer. Nation-Builder.
