The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, will be the guest speaker at the 2016 Annual Lecture of Women in Management and Business (WIMBIZ) which will hold on March 10, 2016, at the Shell Hall, Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos.
 The lecture, themed, “The Crisis of Values: Reclaiming our Society” is expected to serve as a catalyst for national re-awakening by stimulating discussion around the erosion of indigenous values and its effects on the society.  
 According to Aishah Ahmad, Chairperson, Executive Council Women in Management Business & Public Service (WIMBIZ), the 2016 annual lecture will challenge Nigerians to reassess the definition of success and the value of money relative to social good.
 “A lot of the challenges confronting us today stem from a national deterioration of values. As a result, Nigerians are sometimes viewed with distrust and suspicion around the world, despite our drive, work ethic and enterprise. It appears that the pursuit of individual gain has become the primary focus over the common good, and success is increasingly measured by financial parameters, while we appear to be losing the traditional values of contribution and dignity in labour which made our country great in the past,” Ahmad observed.
 “As a group dedicated to developing human capital, we are very concerned about this and we see the 2016 Annual Lecture as our opportunity to encourage the development of a different mindset, particularly among women who are natural change agents,” she said.
