To ensure that Nigeria’s health sector improves through seamless financing and technology solutions, the former NucleusIS Africa has been rebranded to RIGO Incorporated.
RIGO Incorporated is an African technology company helping healthcare businesses thrive through connected finance and operations.
The newly unveiled brand is divided into two arms: RIGO Finance and RIGO Tech.
CEO and Co-Founder of RIGO, Kayode Odeyinde, speaking during the relaunch of the company in Lagos, which brought together pharmacists, doctors, HMO executives, and regulators, said that healthcare business owners in Nigeria now have a more powerful ally.
He emphasized that the platform is designed to make healthcare finance and operations simpler, faster, and more accessible.
Odeyinde said: “Running a healthcare business in Nigeria isn’t easy. We are building tools to make that work easier, from paying staff to accessing credit, from processing claims to tracking inventory.”
Explaining the platforms, Odeyinde said: “RIGO Finance allows healthcare businesses to access instant loans, pay bills, and manage their finances from a single dashboard.
“And RIGO Tech builds software solutions that enable care providers and HMOs to collaborate more efficiently, using automation to manage claims, digitize records, and reduce operational bottlenecks.
“We’ve always been inspired by the people behind the prescriptions, diagnoses, and invoices. RIGO is for them, and it’s here to stay.”
According to Odeyinde, the platform was initially launched as NucleusIS Africa and quickly gained traction for its health-focused microfinance model.
“Since then, it has grown to serve over 2,000 healthcare businesses across Nigeria, from urban hospitals to community pharmacies, by providing working capital and operational technology tools.
“RIGO’s model addresses a critical gap in Nigeria’s healthcare economy: access to reliable, fast, and affordable financial and tech infrastructure.
“With its rebrand, the company is positioning itself as the go-to platform for powering healthcare businesses in Africa, both financially and operationally.”
Earlier in his speech, the Board Chairman of the company, Femi Niyi, said: “RIGO Incorporated, formerly NucleusIS Africa, believes that unlocking healthcare access starts with reimagining how it’s financed.
“We have evolved from a health-tech startup into a full-spectrum finance and technology enabler for the healthcare sector.
“This journey has been marked by our recent acquisition of a microfinance bank. Through RIGO Finance and our expanding ecosystem, we’re removing the barriers that have held healthcare businesses back for decades.
“This new chapter isn’t just about growth. It is our commitment to building infrastructure that makes healthcare delivery faster, more efficient, and financially inclusive.
“We are not just enabling access. We’re redefining what’s possible for healthcare in Africa,” Niyi added.
