In a bold move on March 4, 2025, at the Civic Center Lagos, Nigeria’s financial landscape is being redefined as BlackStone Capital emerges from its chrysalis, reborn as 4Stone Capital. This is more than a name change—it’s a declaration of intent, a powerful signal that a new era of agile, unconventional financial services has arrived. At the helm, CEO Amb. Dr. Elizabeth Kings-Wali, FCIB, DFCISM, CIFCN, deserves nothing short of a standing ovation.
4Stone Capital, with its mission to bridge the lending chasm to individuals and SMEs, is poised to become a cornerstone of Nigeria’s burgeoning economic renaissance. Their focus on closing the financial inclusion gap through innovative capital and advisory support is precisely what the nation needs as it solidifies its position as Africa’s business hub. From trade and manufacturing to telecoms and hospitality, 4Stone Capital is ready to fuel growth across the economy’s vital sectors.
The new 4Stone Capital logo, a masterpiece of design, perfectly encapsulates the company’s ethos. Inspired by the captivating Charoite stone, the four interlocking abstract shapes represent the company’s core subsidiaries: 4Stone Homes and Properties Development Limited, 4Stone Microfinance Bank, 4Stone Farms, and BlackStone Insurance Brokers Limited. These interconnected shapes symbolize the synergy that drives 4Stone Capital’s success. The rich, earthy color palette—Golden Topaz, Orange Sapphire, Warm Gold, and Amber Brown—evokes a sense of wealth and prosperity, mirroring the value the company delivers to its clients.
At Dayo Abiola Consulting Limited, we are immensely proud to have partnered with 4Stone Capital on this transformative journey. Crafting the logo and executing the rebrand was more than a project; it was an opportunity to contribute to a vision that will empower individuals and businesses across Nigeria and beyond. The board of directors, under the leadership of Chairman HRH. Barr. Dr. Muhammed S. H. Dantoro (Emir of Borgu), CFR, and including Non-Executive Directors Mrs. Offiong Ekang Daniel Ekpo and Mr. Effimi Odo Effimi, provides a solid foundation for 4Stone Capital’s ascent. Coupled with the expertise of Executive Directors Mrs. Yvonne Osa Olasogba and Mr. Joseph Ojebola (Executive Director Finance), and the astute guidance of Company Secretary Dr. Sylvester Delta Ijie, the company is in capable hands.
This isn’t just a rebranding; it’s a revolution. 4Stone Capital is not merely entering the market; it’s setting the standard. And with Amb. Dr. Elizabeth Kings-Wali leading the charge, the future of Nigerian financial services looks brighter than ever.
