Fellowship International is spreading its tentacles wide as an avenue to
develop, equip and empower Nigerians for more exploits in the market
places through its coming seminar in Lagos.
The 2016 Annual Business Seminar runs on
the themes, ‘Essentials for Modern Enterprise’ and ‘Non-Oil Options in
the Nigerian Economy’. While former will hold on Friday June 10 at the
NECA House Event Centre, AlausaIkeja, the latter will hold on Saturday
June 11 at the Lagos Sheraton and Towers at Bank-Anthony Way, Ikeja. The
Friday seminar, billed for 5,000 for entry, is to show people how they
can generate business ideas through essential soft skills for modern and
business career growth with financial management skills for business
management.
According to the District Coordinator,
Mr. FolaAguda, “Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for
over 95 per cent of firms and 60-70 per cent of employment and generates
a large share of new jobs in developing economies. They have specific
strengths and weaknesses that may require specific strategic and
management responses.”
Hence, this seminar will significantly
build on local strengths, networks and support systems that can help
Nigerian SMEs improve to meet the eminent challenges of globalisation.
The Saturday conference is for those who
run companies and have established for years. This will reveal to them
how they can expand their businesses.
“This is for us to grow the economy
together. This is no more what the government can do but what
individuals can do. More important than the money is the business
generating ideas, your idea must be Implementable, Marketable and
Fundable (IMF)”, Aguda added.

Ltd, Mr. Charles Aladewolu, explained that their intention is to tell
people who they are, what they do, and share their testimonies.
