3 Major Focus of 100 Young CEOs Forum are:
Embracing sustainability challenge
Collaboration is the currency of the 21st century. We believe that there is no single one of us that is as powerful as all of us. It is high time we create platforms as the men did at Babel to build a new tower for reshaping Nigeria narratives. The socio-economic crises we have experienced in the country is solvable if we can create that atmosphere that supports each of us to succeed. Nigeria is never in short supply of vibrant, intelligent, hard-working young people, the problem has always been a good support system that creates conducive platforms for these brilliants ones to express their full potentials without limitations.
Many of our small scale businesses never survive past the first three years of their existence because there are lots of toxic elements that made the market place unconducive for small scale business to survive. Our plan is to bring 100 Young CEO together in a bid to help each to succeed. We will be the bridge for all these startups by using professional networks to guide them in every decision-making process.
Advancing diversity and inclusion
Our society is a multicultural society and this supposes to serve as an area of strength. But because many of our Small Businesses rather than projecting our cultural strength, are aiming to mirror the western market way of operations which at the same time automatically set them up for a business war they are not equipped to fight, needless to say, win. Many of our indigenous brands are in competition with global brands using the same module they created to compete with them, a battle they can never win. We cannot beat them at the game they invented except we bring our own indigenous ways of doing things to make the difference. We have studied our culture and richness of her resources and we will be giving our 100 CEO terrains to follow in Branding and marketing our cultural value with their idea/products on a global market.
Training and Mentorship Platform
The 100 Young CEOs Forum will lead young entrepreneurs who have great ideas to take responsibility for making our nation a better place than we found it by advancing diversity and inclusion. This is not just a seminar but a platform that brings young brilliants mind together for the purpose of training, mentorship and much more.
We will ensure we have at least 100 CEOs in every local government across the federations to champion the transition of a great paradigm shift in our society. We will use networks of resourceful professionals across EVERY sector to guide these Young CEO in a bid to train them on how to fare in business trouble-waters, tackle raging issues across our education sector, economic challenges, socio-political problems and much more. We will constantly bring them together to come and learn industry insights from experienced and resourceful people during these meetups. For now, we are focusing on six cities: Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Calabar, and Kaduna. And Lagos is our starting point. The next edition after June 2019 will hold in the Northern part of the country in November 2019.
