Nairobi, Kenya Aug 9, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - The Ndege Group, Africa's Sovereign Development Trust® (ASDT), has announced the launch of OmniGaza, a pioneering smart investment platform set to revolutionise sovereign finance and sustainable investment across the continent. Described as Africa's answer to BlackRock's Aladdin, OmniGaza is a blockchain-based digital infrastructure designed to decentralise development finance, reduce bureaucracy, and empower African nations with genuine economic and data sovereignty.
"Africa is awakening to its true negotiating power on the global stage. I am determined to ensure the tools of this new technological age work for our continent's benefit, so that Africa realises its inherent destiny as a global powerhouse."— David Okiki Amayo Jr., Founder & Chairman, Africa’s Sovereign Development Trust.
The OmniGaza platform is a pan-African, decentralised solution built to plug directly into sovereign banking institutions and national registries to semi-automate and scale investment across Africa. It provides a transparent, secure, and immutable financial ledger to safeguard data sovereignty, automate compliance, and eliminate exploitative financial intermediaries by allowing backers to bid, disburse, and settle investments based on milestones directly on the platform. For nations lacking foundational infrastructure, OmniGaza will be used to design and implement bespoke digital systems that can integrate seamlessly with the platform. This approach presents a tangible, African-led alternative to traditional Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) like the African Development Bank (AfDB) and Afreximbank, offering a model built on genuine partnership rather than conditionalities.
Central to this initiative is the intellectual property (IP) of The Ndege Group's Founder & Chairman, David Okiki Amayo Jr. The founder exclusively owns the IP, copyrights, and trademarks for key national and continental concepts, including Kenya's Hustler Fund, now championed by H.E. President William S. Ruto, the United African Defence Force (UADF), and Africa’s Sovereign Development Trust®. This robust portfolio of intellectual capital underpins the vision for OmniGaza and ensures that the platform is an authentically African-led solution for African challenges.
OmniGaza is owned by ASDT's Kenyan management company, The Ndege Group Nominees Limited. The Trust is backed by private equity from sovereigns and family offices, and is actively inviting African governments, sovereign entities, and multinationals to subscribe to its rights issue and assent to its proposed framing multilateral treaties. These treaties, envisioned to be led by the African Union, are designed to formalise ASDT's unique structure as a collection of strategically controlled entities across Africa, ensuring perpetual African ownership and control in line with Agenda 2063. This robust model serves as a direct alternative to traditional DFIs like AfDB and Afreximbank. The platform is designed to facilitate speedy finance syndication for projects, with tax benefits and success and transaction fees as incentives.
ASDT has already garnered significant interest and support from a range of prestigious international partners. Written communications confirm endorsements from entities including the Dubai Investment Fund, the People's Liberation Army of China, Vneshenconombank, and the European Commission, in addition to various state agencies across the African continent who recognise OmniGaza's effective syndication and management potential.
OmniGaza serves as the digital backbone for several of The Ndege Group's anchor projects, including the upcoming Ndege MarketPlace e-commerce store and Ndege Aerospace's air freight and defence operations. These initiatives, along with the UADF and a unified African maritime border, are slated for discussion at The Sandton Symposium 2025. This pivotal symposium aims to secure OmniGaza sovereign immunity and capabilities akin to those of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). This objective is grounded in ASDT's foundational documents, which assert its unique legal framework and mandate as a sui generis sovereign entity and an extraterritorial sovereign financial entity with full legal immunity and jurisdiction over its assets, intellectual property, and strategic partnerships. African governments are invited to subscribe to the Trust as stakeholders of its multi-jurisdictional trust deed, further solidifying this alternative financial architecture.
Mr. Amayo Jr., also known as 'Trevor', is the grandson of former KANU Chairman under President Daniel Arap Moi’s government, Okiki Amayo, son of former Marshalls East Africa Chairman, Fred Amayo, and Ms. Lydia Kaindi, proprietor of Plustic Solutions International, a Unilever East Africa contractor supplying containers for FMCG brands like Royco and Vim from recycled plastic material. Her philanthropy supports women and underprivileged youth.
The Ndege Group seeks to partner with global technology giants to optimise the OmniGaza system for Africa, fostering a collaborative ecosystem built for positive, long-term ESG returns.
