Remarking on her invitation, Lara Banjoko, said, “I am delighted to once again be one of the speakers at this venerated conference.  Last year’s edition was instructive on the capacity of Nigerians to grow the oil and gas industry indigenously through skills acquisition and capacity development. I look forward to the escalation of discourse to embrace the youth and women in the development of the extractive industries.’’

Bekeme Masade, Executive Director of CSR-in-Action, expressed her delight in Lara Banjoko’s participation in this year’s SITEI conference, stating, “At CSR-in-Action, we are particularly elated when contributors to previous SITEI conferences, continue to participate in future events.”
