Business experts have harped on the need for Nigerian entrepreneurs to expand their operations into other African countries to increase their wealth.
The call was made during the Marketplace Stakeholders Africa conference in Abuja at the weekend.
The host of the event, Manasseh Dogon, said the conference served as a way to expose Nigerian entrepreneurs on what to do in attracting more sales for their businesses.
“The primary purpose of Marketplace Stakeholders Africa is to be able to bring captains of industries together under one atmosphere to be able to educate them on the next blueprint that is about to happen in Africa.
“Through production intelligence, we discovered that so many things have been left uncoordinated in Africa. This conference is an avenue for captains of industry to see the perspectives, the opportunities that are within the African soil and how to maximize them.”
“Overcoming barriers in business has to do with self-management. We always try to throw expectations to leaders. Since we expect leaders to do the right things, we should also do our part as businessmen and individuals.
“We must understand and look at the world from a global scale. The world is bigger than where you are. We will be holding this conference quarterly and spread across other African countries like Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, and South Africa. What we are trying to do here will serve as a blueprint to other African countries as we intend to maximize potentials.”
He added that the conference would allow every young entrepreneur, marketplace leader, student and innovator to gain exposure to diverse industries in the marketplace from a global perspective.
“The Marketplace Stakeholders Africa is a revolutionary conference organised by Maime Innovation Foundation, in collaboration with The Metropolitan Church to bring together captains of industries, marketplace leaders, creatives, market experts, innovators, business men and women in different sectors across African countries.
“The event will serve as a forum for open dialogue with industry stakeholders and the press in an open intelligent conversation to identify prevalent problems related to their respective industry and proffer contemporary solutions to each of the identified industrial problems by making these respective industries work through production intelligence.
