PANA Holdings boss, Daere Akobo, wins Global Business Conclave 2025

The founder of PE Energy and chairman of PANA Holdings, Dr Daere Akobo, has been honoured with the prestigious Global Business Conclave 2025 award by the White Page International.

The Nigerian entrepreneur, business mentor, and philanthropist was one of the global power leaders who graced the Global Business Conclave events recently held in London, United Kingdom.

According to White Page International, the Global Business Conclave, an interdisciplinary forum for top executives, thought leaders, business leaders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, among others, from many countries, optimises networking experience and revolutionary idea generation in an action-packed day of transformational talks, panel discussions, social activities, and awards.

Dr Akobo’s recognition and honour by the White Page International is a testament to his visionary leadership, unwavering commitment to service, and dedication to fostering innovation, which reflects resilience, integrity, and a purpose-driven approach to business and leadership.

Speaking about the 2015 Global Business Conclave on his official LinkedIn page, the entrepreneur and business mentor emphasised that he is poised to take the entrepreneur journey beyond Africa.

“Winning the global leaders award for 2025, presented by White Page International, is an honour. It is not of my own making. It is by the grace of God and the collaborations I have received from my team and other business mentors,” he said.

He added that attending the 2025 Global Business Conclave offered opportunities to exchange ideas, especially as it relates to the African economy and the opportunities made available in the wider perceptive.

“I am grateful to have shared my insights on leadership as a responsibility, service, and force for meaningful change. This award reminds me of our shared commitment to shaping a future built on inclusivity, sustainability, and progress,” he added.

On the recognition and honour, White Page International, on its official LinkedIn page, described Dr Akobo as a distinguished leader whose presence and reflections elevated the Global Business Conclave.
