Izili Group, formerly known as Baobab+ has rolled out plans for massive investment in strengthening last-mile distribution of energy and digital solutions across its operational locations in Africa including Nigeria, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire and Madagascar.

Unveiled the new brand identity, Izili reaffirmed its role as a last mile distributor dedicated to extending affordable solar power and digital connectivity to underserved communities across Africa.

Speaking during a press conference in Lagos, Chief Executive Officer, Izili Group, Mr. Kolawole Osinowo, explained that the change in identity follows BioLite’s acquisition of a majority stake in April 2025 and signals a renewed focus on delivering end user impact.

Osinowo stated that the new name embodies innovation in distribution, steadfast inclusion and tangible impact.

“As Izili, we pledge to deepen our reach in Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Madagascar and Nigeria by bringing reliable energy and digital services directly to homes, small enterprises and remote markets. Our agile network of field agents ensures that products and support arrive where they are needed most,” he added.

Speaking further, the CEO commented “As Izili we remain unwavering in our mission to energise lives and connect communities. The name Izili captures our ambition to light up every home and link every entrepreneur to opportunity. By reinforcing our last mile network, we ensure clean energy and digital tools are truly within reach,”.

He said clients, partners and stakeholders will continue to receive the same high standards of service and technical support under the Izili name, adding that the rebranding will roll out gradually in all operational markets over the coming months.

Izili is a purpose-driven last mile distributor of solar energy systems and digital tools in Africa. Since 2015, the company has empowered over 2.5 million people through accessible financing and hands-on support, ensuring that clean energy and digital solutions reach even the most remote communities.
