The invitation-only gathering, themed “Impact as Evidence of Leadership: Capital, Infrastructure and the Leaders Shaping Nigeria’s Next Economic Growth Cycle,” scheduled for 27 November 2026 in Lagos, will convene influential leaders across industry, investment and public policy to examine the decisions, partnerships and institutional capabilities required to accelerate sustainable economic growth.
Participants include Honourable Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole; Regional Climate Head, African Development Bank, Dr Olufunso Somorin; Founder of LEAP Africa, Dr Ndidi Nwuneli; Founder of Aruwa Capital Management, Adesuwa Okunbo Rhodes; and Dr Nana Ibrahim of NRS, alongside other senior executives and institutional leaders.
Chief Executive Officer of Rhofurd Energy Limited, Erhomu Ofurhie, emphasised the responsibility of business leaders to deliver outcomes beyond commercial success.
“Africa’s growth story is ultimately a story of leadership, enterprise and our collective ambition to build a more prosperous and resilient continent. What matters is our ability as leaders to move beyond ambition and demonstrate impact through the institutions we build, the opportunities we create and the legacy we leave behind. The Connectors Code Lagos Executive Roundtable provides an important platform for exchanging perspectives and advancing purposeful leadership,” he said.
Group Head, Oil & Gas, BOI, Gabriel Yemidale, said the Roundtable reflects the importance of connecting investment with industrial development and measurable economic outcomes.
“At the Bank of Industry, we recognise that sustainable economic growth requires more than access to finance. It requires the development of productive enterprises, resilient industries, enabling infrastructure and the institutional partnerships necessary to translate investment into meaningful economic outcomes.
“Our support for The Connectors Code Lagos Executive Roundtable reflects the importance of bringing together leaders across industry, finance and public policy to examine the opportunities and practical solutions that can accelerate Nigeria’s development.”
The programme will feature strategic conversations on energy, infrastructure, development finance and institutional delivery. Leadership from NRS will highlight the impact of fiscal reforms and institutional transformation, while the Impact Intelligence Showcase will recognise leaders and organisations translating vision and investment into tangible economic and social progress.
Explaining the vision behind the convening, Founder of The Connectors Code, Nkem Igwe, said, “The true measure of leadership is the impact it creates, the institutions we strengthen, the opportunities we unlock and the lasting value we contribute to society.
“At The Connectors Code, our ambition is to connect leadership intelligence, strategic relationships and access to opportunity. Through the Lagos Executive Roundtable and Impact Intelligence Showcase, we are creating a platform to recognise meaningful achievements, exchange perspectives and strengthen the partnerships that can shape Africa’s next chapter of growth.”
