Here are some live quotes from BusinessDay’s flagship event, the CEOs Forum 2021
“Unlike before women-led businesses are now mainstream. Any company not creating an environment to accommodate women is not only losing out on top talents but also a large part of the professional base,” Akintoye Akindele, CEO, Platform Capital Group
“To drive efficiency in any organisation, we must embrace digitalisation and technology and if we say people are our the assets we have to focus on reskilling them,” Elohor Aiboni, MD, Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Ltd (SNEPCo)
“In Nigeria, the real wealth is the people, we must select them, train them and retain them and naturally the society will experience growth and welfare,” Jean-Michel Paul, founder and CEO Acheron capital
“Technology is no more an advantage, it is now the foundation,” Akintoye Akindele, chairman/ CEO, Platform Capital Group
“Entrepreneurship has a mandate of taking care of people before profit. Profit will always come when you invest in sustainable practice, invest in people, and when you create a conveyor belt of opportunities that continue to give. Any business that ignores the social contract between companies and society cannot have a sustainable business,” Akintoye Akindele, chairman/ CEO, Platform Capital Group
