As the Ogoni Entrepreneurship Summit enters its day two, the momentum from yesterday’s conversations continues to build, setting the stage for deeper engagement, reflection, and action-oriented dialogue. Day One laid a strong foundation, highlighting the immense entrepreneurial potential within Ogoniland and reinforcing the need for locally driven solutions to economic challenges.
Today, the summit shifts focus from vision-setting to consolidation, practical insights, and pathways for sustained impact.
Day Two of the summit brings together entrepreneurs, thought leaders, policymakers, and development partners who share a commitment to translating ideas into actionable outcomes. The sessions are designed to deepen understanding around key pillars of entrepreneurship, innovation, access to capital, governance, sustainability, and enterprise growth, while addressing the realities faced by local business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs in Ogoniland.
Building on the keynote addresses and discussions from the first day, today’s engagements aim to provide participants with practical frameworks, real-world experiences, and strategic guidance that can support business growth beyond the summit. Speakers will explore how entrepreneurs can navigate challenges such as limited funding, market access, and policy constraints while identifying opportunities within agriculture, technology, creative industries, small and medium-scale enterprises, and the green economy.
Recognizing that entrepreneurship does not thrive in isolation but through deliberate partnerships among government institutions, financial organizations, private sector players, and community stakeholders, today’s session will focus on discussions that aim to strengthen the entrepreneurial landscape in Ogoniland.
Day Two also continues to amplify the voices of young people and women, as Gbene Dr. Joi Nunieh will discuss their critical roles in shaping the future economy of the region.
As the summit progresses toward its conclusion, the goal remains ensuring that the impact of the Ogoni Entrepreneurship Summit extends far beyond these two days.
