Entourage Integrated Trust, a dynamic player in Nigeria’s microfinance space, is setting its sights on national growth, preparing to widen its operations beyond the 29 states it currently serves. The move is part of the firm’s ongoing mission to strengthen financial inclusion and empower emerging enterprises across the country.
In a recent release from its Lagos headquarters, the organization announced that it will launch its expansion efforts by conducting an in-depth feasibility study in Maiduguri, Borno State.
“Access to finance can transform lives and revitalize entire communities,” said Seyi Asagun, CEO of Entourage Integrated Trust. “Reaching underserved areas like Maiduguri isn’t just a strategic decision—it’s about unlocking potential, fueling hope, and giving every entrepreneur the tools they need to thrive, regardless of location.”
Over the years, Entourage has earned a reputation as a reliable ally to countless small business owners, offering creative financial products designed to help them overcome funding obstacles and achieve their ambitions.
The decision to scale operations marks a strengthened pledge to dismantle the systemic challenges many Nigerians face when trying to engage with traditional banking systems—especially in regions that have historically lacked access.
The upcoming study in Maiduguri will provide insights into the region’s economic conditions, infrastructure, and social dynamics. These insights will guide Entourage in tailoring its financial services to suit local realities and needs, ensuring a meaningful and sustainable impact.
“We’ve always been committed to delivering financial tools that transform and include,” noted Nkafuonye Philip, Deputy Managing Director of the firm. “As we grow, our priority remains building trust with community stakeholders, listening to the distinct challenges each area faces, and offering customized financial solutions that truly resonate.”
This growth initiative is expected to open up employment opportunities, spark regional economic development, and offer much-needed financial support to thousands of additional entrepreneurs. In doing so, Entourage aims to foster widespread economic advancement and ensure no region is left behind.
