analyst. Chike Uzoma, Head, Strategy & Corporate Development, FirstBank
will moderate the event.
According to Mrs. Folake Ani-Mumuney,
Group Head, Marketing & Corporate Communications of FirstBank ‘Our
forthcoming Nigeria Economic Outlook webinar is a viable opportunity for one to
be informed on key trends and activities that will shape the global
socio-economic landscape in 2023. 2022 was indeed a turbulent year and from the
2023 forecast, the growth would still be slow. In addition, bearing in mind
2023 being an election year in Nigeria, like every democratic nation around the
world, commercial and business activities in the country will be impacted by
the forthcoming election.
I encourage everyone to join the
event as the keynote speaker and panelists will shed more light and
perspectives which will have participants informed about opportunities and
happenings that will shape the socio-economic and political environment in the
country and the world at large.”
