It also explored how investment can lead to better jobs, stronger businesses, and wider economic participation.
Other prominent speakers included CEOs from various Nigerian companies. The event ultimately featured a live showcase of the Business Value and Sustainability Platform, a coalition designed to advance the conversation on Nigeria's private-sector contribution to the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week.
