Over 70% of the jobs in Sub-Saharan Africa and emerging markets are provided by small businesses. “Running a successful business in Nigeria comes with certain challenges but to overcome the challenges in the ecosystem, entrepreneurs must identify opportunities, set goals, be open to knowledge, build a sustainable structure, nurture relationships, add value and envision a better world with the service they provide.”

Chairman, Troyka Holdings Limited, Dr Biodun Shobanjo, while speaking urged business owners to define their mission from the onset in order to deliver great results and remain in business. He said, “The ability to deliver creative work in a timely manner is very crucial to running a successful business. Also, as a business owner, leading with integrity, excellence, and passion and building a team of leaders for succession is important in sustaining a business. To remain above the curve, entrepreneurs must seek to diversify, innovate and leverage digital resources available in this digital era.”

I am grateful to AT3 Resources for organising this impactful training and I say a massive congratulation as they mark their 5th anniversary.”
