“Against the urgent need to deepen the federal government’s economic agenda – financial inclusion, job and wealth creation and fiscal growth, the critical role played by family businesses as the heartbeat of Nigeria’s economy has once again been spotlighted and thrust into sharp focus,” the statement noted.

“Key drivers that undergird a lot of these enterprises include, strong cash flow with a view to ensuring that they remain profitable, high levels of trust driven by shared vision and business objectives and cohesive cultural bonds where one out of every two Nigerian businesses bear the distinction of being a family business,” he said.

Speaking on the rationale behind this latest study, Vice President, Communications and Public Relations, Moniepoint Inc, Edidiong Didi Uwemakpan, noted that the decision to focus on family businesses was driven by their significant contributions to Nigeria’s economy despite their varying sizes and sectors.
