Dakar, September 8, 2025 – Coris Investment Group, a pan-African conglomerate founded in 2019 by Burkinabe businessman Idrissa Nassa, has officially finalized today the acquisition of Total Energies’ activities in Burkina Faso. The transfer documents were signed in Dakar by Yacouba Saré, CEO of Coris Invest Group, and Jean-Philippe Torres, President of Total Marketing Services Africa.
This strategic operation highlights CIG’s entry into the oil downstream sector, strengthening its presence in a sector previously dominated by international majors. Announced on February 18, 2025 by Mr. Mbacké Badara (TotalEnergies) to Minister Serge Gnaniodem Poda, this transaction represents a major step in the diversification of the Group’s strategic investments.
Coris Investment Group, previously well established in insurance and financial services, is now diversifying its activities towards energy. This expansion reflects the assertion of an African player in essential sectors, with a consolidated approach to governance, social continuity through the preservation of all jobs, and the strengthening of regional economic sovereignty.
