Cedrus Group has announced a strategic partnership with RusselSmith, a leading integrated oilfield services company, for the issuance of a N3 billion commercial paper. The move is aimed at raising short-term capital to support RusselSmith’s expansion and operational needs, particularly in the energy sector.
The commercial paper issuance is part of Cedrus Group’s broader commitment to facilitating access to funding for Nigerian businesses. By leveraging its financial expertise, Cedrus is helping RusselSmith secure cost-effective financing to enhance its service delivery and expand its footprint in the oil and gas industry. The funds raised will be used to optimize operations, invest in new technologies, and strengthen the company’s market position.
RusselSmith, known for its cutting-edge solutions in pipeline integrity, subsea services, and asset management, sees this financing initiative as a strategic step toward sustaining growth and maintaining its leadership in the sector. The company has emphasized its commitment to innovation and operational efficiency, with the funds expected to accelerate key projects and improve service capabilities.

Industry analysts have praised the deal, noting that commercial paper issuance provides an attractive alternative to traditional bank loans, offering competitive interest rates and flexible repayment terms. As Nigerian businesses continue to seek innovative funding solutions, the capital market remains a vital platform for raising short-term debt.
Cedrus Group has reaffirmed its dedication to supporting corporate growth through tailored financial solutions. The company believes that partnerships like this will not only benefit individual businesses but also contribute to the overall development of Nigeria’s economy. By facilitating access to credit, Cedrus is playing a crucial role in strengthening local enterprises and fostering a more resilient financial ecosystem.
With this successful issuance, both companies are optimistic about future collaborations and the potential for more capital market-driven financing initiatives. As RusselSmith continues to expand, the partnership with Cedrus is expected to serve as a model for other companies seeking sustainable funding strategies in Nigeria’s evolving business landscape.
