Britain’s Prudential picks Nairobi for its Africa headquarters
WEDNESDAY JULY 28 2021

British underwriter Prudential Plc will set up its Africa headquarters in Nairobi after signalling its intention to join the Nairobi International Financial Centre (NIFC) as one of its anchor clients.
NIFC acting chief executive Oscar Njuguna told that the Business Daily that Prudential wants to grow its regional business aggressively, having established operations in eight African jurisdictions.
Prudential Tuesday in London submitted a letter of intent to join the NIFC, becoming the first firm to show concrete interest in joining the nascent financial centre which has only recently been fully operationalised.
“They (Prudential) are in the process of setting up their African headquarters in Nairobi…and the NIFC offering is attractive to them as they do cross-border activities, given that they will benefit from some of the incentives we are offering, such as fast-tracking work permits for key executives,” said Mr Njuguna.
The NIFC also inked a memorandum of understanding with the TheCityUK, an industry-led body representing UK-based financial and related professional services.
This partnership is expected to provide access to the members of the lobby to gauge their appetite to invest in Kenya and the region through the NIFC.
“Through collaboration with partners like TheCityUK, the NIFC will attract increased investment and financing into the country, which will not only contribute to the wider efforts to drive economic growth following the pandemic, but it will also support the achievement of our wider economic goals under Kenya’s Vision 2030 roadmap,” said Treasury CS Ukur Yatani.
The lobby also includes the London Stock exchange, which has previously also agreed to an MoU with the Kenya government for cross-listing of energy firms in London and Nairobi.
Kenya is hoping to attract firms to operate within the financial centre by offering a raft of incentives which include tax rebates, faster processing of regulatory applications and faster processing of work permits for international staff. It is then expected that these businesses will bring capital flows into Kenya, create high-quality jobs for locals and provide skills transfers in the long term.

Found a very exciting article from Trip suvvy about a Guide to Major Airports in Africa. I thought JNIA was advaced as their fellow citizen claimed kumbe wako na vitu basic tu za kawaida..(A Guide to Major Airports in Africa )
Tanzania: Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR)
Ram Horizonte Betancourt/Wikimedia Commons
- Location of the Airport: 8 miles southwest of Dar es Salaam
- Pros: Great international connections
- Cons: Basic, outdated facilities with limited shopping and dining
- Getting to and From the Airport: Taxis are available, as are public buses, but tour operators and hotels usually offer private transfers.
Air Tanzania is hubbed here and flies across the African continent, as well as to India. International airlines that fly here include EgyptAir, Emirates, KLM, and Qatar, among others. The airport is a bit outdated and lacks extensive dining and shopping facilities, but it's a relatively modern space. Many international travelers will fly here before continuing onto Kilimanjaro (there's a small airport there).
VS
Kenya: Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO)

- Location of the Airport: 9 miles southeast of the capital city, Nairobi, in Embakasi
- Pros: Major international routes
- Cons: Some areas after security are lacking in facilities (bathrooms, restaurants, shopping)
- Ground Transportation: Taxis are available all day and night, and many hotels offer shuttles.
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is the largest and busiest airport in East Africa, serving 7.1 million passengers in 2018.9 Kenya Airways is hubbed at this airport, but numerous international airlines—including Air France, China Southern, Etihad, and Swiss—fly here from cities across Europe and Asia.
