Core offering

Jagal is a family investment holding company that allocates capital and resources to a diverse portfolio of stand-alone industrial and infrastructure businesses across Africa and the Middle East.

Product overview

Jagal is an investment holding company that manages a diverse portfolio of industrial and infrastructure businesses across Africa and the Middle East. Rather than offering a unified software product, Jagal operates through stand-alone portfolio companies with independent boards: Nigerdock (marine/shipyard services), Snake Island Port (port development), Rack Centre (Tier III data centre services), NigerStar7 (subsea services), Atlantic Aviation (aviation support), and Legacy Investments. This decentralized model allows each business to pursue its strategic objectives independently while contributing to regional economic development.
