Nigerian e-health Startup NucleusIS has Rebranded as RIGO

Nigerian e-health startup NucleusIS has rebranded as RIGO, marking an important step in the company’s growth and future plans. This change is not just about a new name but a big shift in how the company aims to help improve healthcare across Nigeria and Africa. Since it started in 2019, Nigerian e-health startup NucleusIS has focused on creating technology that supports health insurance companies and healthcare providers. The company has worked hard to build a strong foundation and has already signed up seven clients who use its systems.

Over the years, NucleusIS has worked to make health insurance easier to get by connecting technology with retail shops, telecommunications companies, and through distribution APIs. This helps more people and businesses access health insurance in a convenient way. Nigerian e-health startup NucleusIS has rebranded as RIGO Incorporated with a fresh new look and a bigger goal to digitize Africa’s healthcare economy from the ground up. This expanded vision means RIGO wants to do more than just support insurance companies; it plans to build a full set of tools that help hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, HMOs, and suppliers all work better together.

The journey of Nigerian e-health startup NucleusIS includes taking part in the Africa Startup Initiative Programme (ASIP) run by Startupbootcamp AfriTech, alongside mobile operator Telecel, back in 2021. Now, as RIGO Incorporated, the company offers two main platforms called RIGO Finance and RIGO Tech. These platforms help thousands of healthcare businesses in Nigeria manage their money, operations, and technology needs. This rebrand shows a new focus on combining these tools into one strong system.

With its new identity, NucleusIS has rebranded as RIGO and positioned itself as a key player in Nigeria’s healthcare technology scene. By combining RIGO Finance and RIGO Tech, the company now provides what is called a vertical SaaS (software as a service) and embedded finance stack. This means RIGO offers software and financial services specifically built for the healthcare market. Nigeria’s healthcare system is known for being very complex and broken into many small parts. RIGO aims to bring these parts together in one easy-to-use platform.

Kayode Odeyinde, the founder and CEO of RIGO, explained the company’s new direction by saying, “We’re no longer just a lender, we’re an enabler.” This highlights how the company has moved beyond simply providing loans or financial products. Instead, RIGO acts as infrastructure for healthcare. It helps with finance, daily operations, and connecting different services through integrations, all from a single connected platform.

This new approach means RIGO can help healthcare businesses run more smoothly and grow faster. For hospitals and clinics, using RIGO’s tools can mean better management of finances and operations without needing many separate systems. For insurance companies and suppliers, RIGO’s platform makes it easier to connect with each other and with the patients they serve. By rebranding from Nigerian e-health startup NucleusIS to RIGO, the company is showing it’s ready to support a much bigger role in the healthcare economy.

RIGO’s vision is to support the people who do essential work in healthcare. Its practical and smart tools are designed to make everyday tasks easier for healthcare providers so they can focus on patient care. The company’s shift from NucleusIS to RIGO is a sign that Nigerian tech startups are growing up and thinking bigger. Instead of just offering one product, RIGO combines technology and finance in ways that truly fit the needs of healthcare businesses across Nigeria.

Nigerian e-health startup NucleusIS has rebranded as RIGO and relaunched with a stronger goal to digitise Africa’s healthcare economy. Since starting in 2019, the company has helped health insurers and care providers with technology and has now expanded to offer a full platform for finance and operations. RIGO aims to be more than a lender, it wants to be the backbone for healthcare businesses, making it easier for hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, HMOs, and suppliers to work together and grow. This rebrand signals a new era for the company and for healthcare technology in Nigeria and beyond.
