How Jim Ovia Started Zenith Bank With 20 Million Naira Seed Capital In 1990, Today Zenith Bank Is Worth Almost $4 Billion

Today, 35 years ago, Jim Ovia started what is known as Zenith Bank today.

He started with 20 million naira seed capital , which was worth over $4 million at that time.

However, they were not the first to start banking in Nigeria, as there were older established banks before Zenith Bank arrived on the scene.

But young Jim never stopped believing that it is possible.

Brick by brick, mortal by mortal, he kept building and betting on himself.

It is 35 years now, and the bank has grown and is the biggest bank in Nigeria by revenue.

From 20 million seed capital, Zenith Bank is worth almost $4 billion, returning over 1000% to early believers and investors who believed that it is possible to do great things from a small place.
