The Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International-Nigeria (FGBMFI), in its aim to help enterprises grow and enable business owners thrive amid economic and business challenges, is organising a business seminar for start-ups and larger businesses to hold in Lagos in June.
Fola Aguda, president of the Southwest 3 District, said the programme aims to help micro, small and medium enterprises to achieve business goals regardless of the circumstances involved. He added that it was also aimed at making people better in the society in order to ensure peace and orderliness.
“It is an avenue to build people to weather the storm and as well help established businesses weather the storm and expand the scope of their businesses,” he said.
“Relevant topics will be discussed by quality facilitators and it is open to both members and non-members for just a token,” he added.
John Osagie, an executive member of the fellowship, said “the annual business seminar is regarded as a social responsibility to the society. It is an annual event and the upcoming edition will mark its 21st edition. We have recorded successes from the seminars by the participants and this has encouraged the continuity of the programme.”
“The world is changing; digitalisation is taking the front row and rapid growth of technology is changing the face of business. There is a need to carry everyone and every business along. Various issues of interest will be discussed which involve the lifestyle of the participants,” Osagie said.
“Besides providing a learning platform, there are other opportunities available for the participants. There is room for mentorship and it is an all-encompassing forum. Aside from start-ups, business owners and career people, we are also interested in people who plan to retire so they have an idea of what to do after retirement.”
The seminar, which is an annual event, would be in two forms. First is themed ‘Achieving Business Growth in Today’s Economy’ while the second is entitled, “Imperatives for Building Modern Businesses”. Both will come up on the same day at the Academy Guest House and Event Halls and the Lagos Sheraton Hotels& Towers respectively.
