Leo Stan Ekeh, Chinenye Mba-Uzoukwu to speak at the Imo Economic Summit

The Imo Economic Summit Group, operating as International Economic Summit Group (IESG), is set to hold a webinar to explore ways to re-engineer the economy of Imo State and by extension south-east, Nigeria.

This was disclosed in a statement released by the group and signed by Uche Aniche, director of communications at IESG, on Monday.

According to Aniche, the webinar is scheduled to hold on Wednesday, November 30 2021 with the theme “Imo State: Enhancing Fiscal Competitiveness As A Subnational”.

The webinar will feature keynote speakers that include Leo Stan Ekeh, group chairman, Zinox, and presentations from Chinenye Mba-Uzoukwu, founding partner, InfoGraphics, Uche Val Obi, managing partner, Alliance Law Firm and Johnson Chukwu, GMD, Cowry Asset.

Other speakers include Patrick O. Okigbo III, founding Partner, Nextier, and Chris Okoye, board chairman, SENEC.

Speaking further on the importance of the event, Aniche stated that emerging trends require stronger subnational economies in Nigeria, hence the need to support the government.

“At IESG, we believe emerging trends require stronger subnational economies in Nigeria going forward,” he said.

“As an organisation founded with the objective to assist the government to deepen economic development in Imo State, it is our responsibility to provide a platform where these trends are dissected for the benefit of the Government and people of the state.”

“This webinar provides us an opportunity in furtherance of that goal.”

Speaking about the event, Okey Nwuke, DMD, Coscharis Group and IESG President, said this event is put together to also support the government in achieving their potentials.

“We are poised to elevate economic and development conversations to support the Government in realizing the potentials of our dear state.”

IESG is an independent non-partisan organisation that supports and complements Government’s economic development policies, galvanising the private sector to drive investment inflow, creating opportunities and prosperity for Imo State.
