Report & Photos from The CEO Roundtable BETA Summit 2016

We wish to give God the glory for successful planning and completion of the life impactful event; CEO Roundtable beta summit that took place on Friday, June 24, 2016 at the main auditorium, Unilag. 

Convener : Mr Ayoola Ashaye (CEO Stimulus Productions & Entertainment) 

Media Consultant | Entrepreneur | Event Manager | Business Strategist | OAP | 

CEO Roundtable show started on radio Unilag for the past 4/5 years ago. It's major aim is to bridge the gap between the CEOs (made entrepreneurs and professionals) and the growing or aspiring entrepreneurs. The summit was a constant call of necessity to have a major forum which will enable them interact, network, learn directly & practically from them. We intend as our main focus, to encourage more entrepreneurs which is also in tandem with one of the goals of the past administration of Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and the present; President Muhammadu Buhari. Scholarships amongst other opportunities were given out, mobile phones to help with their businesses, all expense paid trips, etc in the two editions. Testimonies abound.

The Convener, Ayoola Ashaye

The Beta summit is the second edition. We use the Greek alphabet(alpha, beta, gamma,…), so be expecting the third edition (gamma summit). The theme for this year was chosen from the need to encourage the youths & youth-at-heart (entrepreneurs especially) to think Out of the Box and DARE to succeed especially as they strive to survive the waves of economic situation the country is facing. 

We also wish to recognize the indefatigable effort of His Excellency, the Lagos state Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode for his commitment towards MSME development in Nigeria.
