9mobile CEO to deliver keynote address at the BNI Business Conference

The Chief Executive Officer of 9mobile, Obafemi Banigbe, will deliver a keynote at the 2024 BNI National Business Conference, and will be joined by seasoned business leaders as they take the stage from October 3rd to 4th in the Ogun State capital, Abeokuta to discuss ways of harnessing emerging opportunities for growth and “building” bridges for a greater economy.

Themed “Beyond Borders: Exploring Global Opportunities,” this year’s conference encourages businesses to explore international growth prospects while building sustainable partnerships.

At the event, Banigbe will address Africa’s strategic positioning in the global economy and its untapped potential as the next global frontier after Asia.

Sharing his insights ahead of the conference, Banigbe said, “The BNI National Business Conference is an invaluable platform for networking with business leaders, sharing knowledge, and cultivating a better business environment. Africa is positioned for exponential growth, but we must develop the next generation of industry leaders and entrepreneurs to seize these opportunities.”

With over 2,000 participants expected, including industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals, the conference will feature a distinguished lineup of speakers, such as Nigeria’s former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, as the Special Guest of Honour, alongside other notable figures including Dr. Adebola Olubanjo FCA, and Chief Kola Akosike of Oduacimma.

Banigbe’s participation reflects his dedication to shaping discussions on Africa’s growing influence in the global economy and equipping Nigerian businesses to succeed on the international terrain.

Recall that Femi Banigbe was recently appointed CEO of 9mobile, one of Nigeria’s most resilient telecommunications, where he has been tasked with steering the company’s business transformation agenda, providing innovative solutions and sustainable growth for the telco.
