Zuma Group  ·  Nigeria  ·  Est. under one national mandate

ZUMA

Nigeria's growth is not blocked by a lack of land, talent, or audience. It is blocked by missing infrastructure. Zuma exists to build it — across food, sport, broadcast, and housing — as one architecture, under one name.

The Zuma Thesis

One name. One method. Every sector where the rails are missing.

Named for Zuma Rock — the monolith at the gateway to the Federal Capital — Zuma builds the operating infrastructure Nigeria has never had: the physical, digital, institutional, and financial rails that connect what the country produces to the value it deserves.

Each venture follows the same discipline: identify a systems-architecture failure, build the missing rails as a platform rather than a product, de-risk through institutional partnership and milestone-gated capital, and design for replication — first nationally, then across West Africa.

Every mandate below is backed by a full investor document suite. This site is the front door.

Zuma Agro-Allied

ZAA-IPD-2026-v2.0
ZAA-FB-2026-v2.0 · ZAA-SOF-2026-v2.0

Nigeria's $6–10Bn annual food import bill is a systems-architecture failure, not an agricultural one. Zuma Agro-Allied builds the missing rails — six zones, one replicable architecture — connecting 34M hectares of underutilised land to consumer markets at competitive cost.

The Four Rails

  • Physical — aggregation hubs, hermetic storage, feed mill + oil expeller, mechanisation fleet, cold chain
  • Digital — LoRaWAN IoT field network, firmware asset layer, ERP backbone, AAIDTM agro-AI
  • Institutional — NAFARL, NCS, NPF land partnerships; IITA + three university research alliances
  • Financial — revolving working capital, Input Bank, DFI co-investment, offtake frameworks

Why It Holds

  • Milestone-gated capital across five tranches, released only on independent technical-advisor certification
  • Sovereign-grade land tenure through security-agency partnership — no title purchase, no community opposition risk
  • AAIDTM: Africa's first field-trained precision-agriculture AI, a licensable IP asset worth $30–80M in Years 6–10
  • Conservative basis: 16–19% equity IRR with a 15% inflation discount and 20% production buffer built in

02 — Sports Economy · Nigeria's Sports Operating System

ZumaSports

Strategic Framework V1.0
Financial Brief V1.0

Nigeria is not a sleeping giant — it is a looted one. World-class talent, systematically extracted, returned as foreign-branded entertainment. ZumaSports builds the entire operating layer of Nigerian sport — eleven concurrent verticals, launched simultaneously, so every actor in the ecosystem either connects to it or competes at a structural disadvantage.

The Eleven Rails

  • Reach — ZumaSports Media (FreeTV founding channel), ZumaMerch, ZumaCulture
  • Talent — ZumaAcademy, ZumaTalent, three-tier ZumaCups outside federation jurisdiction
  • Infrastructure — ZumaArena Lagos (15,000 seats), ZumaVenue network, ZumaOS data platform
  • Protection — ZumaLobby, ZumaRights, ZumaGovernance, ZumaVentures

Why It Holds

  • Capital matched to asset type: DFI for infrastructure, media funds for content, VC for ZumaOS, debt for working capital — never equity for running costs
  • Mauritius holdco, fully compliant Nigerian opcos, international arbitration — beyond political reach
  • ZumaOS: 10+ years of Nigerian sports data that cannot be acquired, only built
  • Six compounding moats, from talent-pipeline lock to broadcast dominance on FreeTV

03 — Broadcast · Digital Switch-Over Infrastructure

ZumaTV

Investment Memorandum
July 2026

Nigeria's Digital Switch-Over launched after 17 years and ₦60–80Bn — and the regulator's own FreeTV platform is now formally contested by the broadcasters it regulates. ZumaTV does not fight for subscribers. It occupies the licensed Signal Distributor and independent trust layer the law already requires, and no credible private player holds.

Four Revenue Streams

  • Signal distribution — recurring carriage fees for licensed transmission access
  • Audience measurement — GARB-aligned, independently trusted viewership data
  • Regulatory advisory — front-loaded while the DSO framework is finalised
  • Pan-African licensing — the proven stack exported to comparable markets

Why It Holds

  • Structurally outside the regulator-aggregator conflict every incumbent carries
  • Leadership: fifteen years inside the exact DVB-T2/DVB-S2 hybrid stack now under national review
  • Operationalises the DSO's unmet 40% commitment to independent and regional creators
  • A licence-and-relationship moat with a closing timer — funded for Phase 0–2: positioning, licensing, pilot

04 — Housing · Self-Financing Affordable Housing

Zuma House

ZumaHabitat Development Co.
Blended-Finance Deck · July 2026

Nigeria's housing deficit stands at 14.9M units. Zuma House is the prototype that makes the math work: a low-cost CSEB build system, a rent-to-own finance engine, and planned community infrastructure — delivering 10,000 certified green homes on the FCT–Niger corridor, self-sustaining by Year 3.

Three Integrated Systems

  • Build — in-house CSEB block factory cutting hard costs 30%+ below sandcrete, with minimal FX exposure
  • Finance — rent-to-own and mortgage-warehouse facility turning sales into a securitizable collections book
  • Community — solar mini-grid, water treatment, schools, clinics, and markets planned in from Phase 1

Why It Holds

  • Priced against real incomes: the ₦450–700K/month "missing middle," within the 30–40% affordability benchmark
  • Capital recycling: $100M builds ~7,200 homes directly; sales proceeds carry the remaining ~2,800
  • Anchored to live federal instruments — the ₦1Tn housing-finance programme and ₦200Bn guarantee scheme
  • The prototype, not the endpoint: Kaduna, Ibadan, and Enugu corridors follow the same playbook

The Pipeline

The architecture is designed to keep building.

Zuma's method — find the missing rails, build the platform, de-risk through institutions, replicate — extends beyond the four mandates now in market. Further ventures are in preparation and will be announced here.
