Aayan Developments officially launches Operations in Egypt and unveils its first project 'dǎoda Towers' in the New Administrative Capital

Aayan Developments has officially announced the launch of its operations in the Egyptian market and unveiled its first real estate project under the name 'dǎo Towers', a multi-use high-rise tower located in the heart of the New Administrative Capital. The project represents the first step in a carefully planned expansion strategy aimed at transferring the company's rich development experience from Gulf markets to Egypt, driven by an integrated vision that combines institutional thinking with smart development. During the press conference, Eng. Mohamed Hegazi, Chairman of Aayan Developments, stated: 'Entering the Egyptian market was not just an expansion decision — it is part of a long-term strategic commitment to a market we truly believe in. We bring decades of executional expertise from Kuwait and the Gulf, and with dǎo Towers, we aim to deliver a distinct model based on innovation, quality, and structured governance.' He emphasized that the project is a direct reflection of Aayan's philosophy, which views real estate development as more than construction — encompassing planning, operations, value creation, and a holistic user experience. He further noted that the company is preparing to launch a series of upcoming projects across various regions of Egypt as part of its national expansion roadmap. Eng. Rami Hegazi, CEO of Aayan Developments, highlighted that choosing MU-12 on the Bin Zayed Axis as the location for the company's first project in Egypt was no coincidence, but the result of an in-depth analysis of prime real estate positioning within the New Administrative Capital. 'dǎo Towers is not just strategically located with panoramic views of the Green River and the Iconic Tower — it's a fully integrated project in every detail, from the variety of unit types including offices, retail spaces, clinics, and a luxury hotel, to an operational experience enhanced by artificial intelligence.' He noted that the project will include several firsts in the capital, including the largest digital advertising screen on Bin Zayed Axis, the largest rooftop infinity pool overlooking the city's landmarks, and the largest open festival and event plaza within an integrated development — all of which enhance the project's investment, commercial, and lifestyle value. Eng. Ahmed Hegazi, Executive Director of Aayan, affirmed that the company entered the Egyptian market fully aware of the scale of the challenges, and accordingly built its internal structure on robust administrative and organizational foundations that align with its ambitious expansion plans. 'From the beginning, we adopted a flexible and scalable institutional structure. We developed an operational system that merges human expertise with advanced technologies. Artificial intelligence is not just a technical feature for us — it's a core part of our operational DNA, whether in energy and facilities management, smart customer services, or real-time performance analysis.' To realize this vision, Aayan collaborated with a select group of leading advisory and planning entities, including MTA (led by Eng. Mohamed Talaat) for architectural design, ACE (Moharram - Bakhoum) for engineering consultancy, Al Hosny Consulting (Eng. Osman Ramadan) for structural detailing, as well as partnerships with AWI for strategic business planning and institutional structuring, ETQAN for market research and financial feasibility, AK Consulting for organizational development, and Pragma Innovations for creative design. The company's board members emphasized that dǎo Towers is not just a strong market entry, but a bold statement of a new type of developer — one that places methodology, governance, and smart systems at the heart of its developments. They concluded the conference by reaffirming that this project is just the beginning of a series of future developments that will introduce a new model of real estate development in Egypt, grounded in quality, smart transformation, and structured growth built on strong partnerships and deep expertise.

President Benedict Oramah takes a bow at the Afreximbank Annual Meetings (AAM2025) after a decade of servant leadership

Professor Benedict Okechukwu Oramah, CON, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) ( has taken a bow from serving at the helm of the institution for the last decade; a period that has been touted as transformational and exceptional. While giving his closing speech during the AAM2025, Professor Oramah took the audience down memory lane, from June 2015 when shareholders gave him a leadership mandate in Lusaka, Zambia, saying that; 'In my acceptance speech, I made a solemn promise to the shareholders, to deliver a solid bank that will be a leader among its peers in all measures of financial performance to quickly grow the capital of the Bank in absolute terms, to improve capitalisation through innovative capital management initiatives to ensure first-class risk management, and achieve adequate returns to shareholders.' Professor Oramah highlighted the achievements of the Bank during his tenure, some under very extreme situations, citing the financial rise thus 'we have collectively, over the past decade, built a solid financial institution that is good for Global Africa. Total assets and guarantees grew more than eight-fold between September 2015 and April 2025, to reach 43.5 billion US dollars. Total Revenues also rose seven-fold, reaching 3.24 billion US dollars, from 408 million US dollars in 2025. Net income amounted to about 1 billion US dollars last year, about 700% increase, from its level of 125 million US dollars in 2015. Internal capital generation and very strong support of shareholders through significant additional equity investments, saw shareholders' funds rise from about 1 billion US dollars in September 2015 to 7.5 billion US dollars in April 2025, with callable capital reaching 4.5 billion US dollars from 450 million US dollars in September 2015. Liquidity remained strong, with sources of funding much more diversified in 2024 than in 2015, due to activities of the Africa Resource Mobilisation Unit, which saw the share of African sources of funding rise from 11.7 percent in 2015 to 36.6 percent in May 2025.' Going forward, Prof Oramah said that the Bank would like to give priority to the financing and promoting of high-value exports that have the capability of stabilising export revenues and creating jobs thereby raising and stabilising trade and economy in Africa. H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who spoke at the official opening ceremony, appreciated the contribution of Afreximbank to the growth and stability of the economy of Nigeria and by extension Africa at large, saying 'Nigeria's collaboration with Afreximbank is expanding in both scope and breadth through various avenues including but not limited to the oil industry, and food production through fertilizer manufacturer through financing and Nigeria appreciates Afreximbank as a strategic partner in co creation which positively impacts the lives of Africans and helps transform the Continent.' In recognition of the outstanding work done my Professor Oramah over the last 10 years and in the last 3 decades at Afreximbank, President Tinubu on behalf of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, awarded Prof. Oramah one of Nigeria's highest state commendations: The G rand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON).
