IOD hosts Nigeria Day
Business and political leaders from Britain and Nigeria gathered at the IoD to mark Nigeria's Centenary celebrations.
A high-profile line-up of speakers, including Chinedu Nebo, Nigeria’s Minister for Power, joined IoD Director-General Simon Walker to discuss Nigeria’s growing economic strength and the opportunities this creates for UK companies.
“The future of Britain’s economy depends very much on our exports,” said Walker, “and there are few markets anywhere that have as much potential as Nigeria.”
He added that, in partnership with its Nigerian sister organisation, the IoD “has a crucial role in corporate governance; to offer support and training to create better directors, better businesses and – eventually – a better economy.”
