Enko Education Investments sets up shop in Côte d’Ivoire

Enko Education, the education division of the investment fund Enko Capital co-founded by Cameroonian financier Cyrille Nkontchou, has just been launched in Abidjan.

Through two schools located in this Ivorian city, which are the Lycée Enko International integrated to the Methodist school complex John Wesley, and the Enko Riviera High School, Cyrille Nkontchou is planning to contribute to training young Africans who will be able to join the greatest universities worldwide after the baccalaureate.

The two above-mentioned schools will thus join, starting from the start of the new school year in September 2016, the Enko Education network, already made up of Amazing Grace Private School, a South African school where Enko Education Investments made its first investment; and school complex La Gaité in Cameroon.

Launched in January 2014, Enko Education Investments globally aims to improve the quality of education in Africa. "Over five years, we want to invest between USD 30 (FCfa 15 billion) and 40 million (FCfa 20 billion) in private schools to build a group truly dedicated to training the children of Africa's middle class", Cyrille Nkontchou confided.
