Speaking on the inauguration dinner, Ayomide Olajide, the director-general at NBCC said, “The presidential dinner is not only to celebrate and honour the President but also hold a grand and befitting event to showcase the Chamber and its activities.”

Akin Osuntoki, the chairman of the presidential inauguration dinner committee confirms that the committee intends to showcase the NBCC as the foremost bilateral Chamber in Nigeria, diligently striving to deepen Anglo-Nigerian trade and investment.
He also added that the objective of the incubator is to provide an academy for young women. “Our focus is to underscore the dearth of the female gender in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) professions and to equip them with the appropriate skills to launch careers in Tech e.g. software programming, coding, UX & UI Design etc.”
