Adubi asks Nigeria to harness the potential for growth
She moderated a high-profile CEO Roundtable featuring industry heavyweights such as Tola Adeyemi, CEO of KPMG West Africa; Farouk Gumel, Vice Chairman for the Tropical General Investment (TGI) Group; and Winifred Isichei, CEO of Bonita Foods.
The Roundtable’s theme - “The Path to Rapid Industrialisation”, explored strategies for enhancing Nigeria’s industrial sector and the collaborative actions required to achieve sustainable growth.
Highlighting the need to celebrate Nigeria’s achievements and foster trust in local capabilities, Adubi stressed that leveraging the nation’s strengths could create a ripple effect, positioning Nigeria as a leading industrial power in Africa.
