Overview

The ambitious goals of the AFRP encompass the restoration of over 23,000 hectares of native forest. This initiative aims to capture and sequester significant amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, with a focus on enhancing biodiversity, protecting local wildlife habitats, and promoting sustainable land-use practices. Notably, the project emphasises community engagement by actively involving residents in reforestation, thereby creating jobs, supporting livelihoods, and fostering a sense of stewardship towards the environment.

Why Investing

1
High-Integrity, Premium Carbon Credits with Strong Market Demand
Ago-Owu generates verified carbon removals under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), not just avoided emissions — these command higher prices in a market where quality and traceability matter more than ever. Nigeria’s top corporates — Dangote, Seplat, Oando, Lafarge — are actively seeking credible offsets, while global buyers are willing to pay a premium for Africa-led nature-based credits with robust co-benefits.
2
Solid Governance, Long-Term Security & Risk Mitigation
Investors benefit from a 99-year lease and carbon rights framework backed by the Osun State Government and Nigeria’s National Council on Climate Change (NCCC). Project risk is reduced through Lloyd’s of London insurance, which protects delivery obligations and builds trust with institutional buyers — a unique edge in Africa’s nature-based carbon space.
