Overview

In light of the recent socio-economic challenges facing Nigeria, businesses and business leaders in different sectors of the economy have been put under pressure to deliver shareholder value, business sustainability, and drive organisational growth. The resultant effect of this is that financial targets were missed and some organisations were unable to pay up debt leading to more difficult times.
