There is a renewed hope for business start-ups in Nigeria, going by the fresh move at Necci PR Roundtable to enlist Venture Capitalists in Nigeria and diaspora to fund new businesses whose enterprise is capable of solving problems, engage employees and create prosperity in Nigeria.
This disclosure was made a pre-conference media briefing by the CEO of Necci PR who doubles as the Convener of PR Roundtable– Mrs. Nkechi Ali-Balogun- in a press to herald the 20th edition of the quarterly-held Roundtable Event scheduled to hold on October 29th 2020 .
Necci PR Roundtable, is a non-profit subsidiary of Necci PR and Training Consultant founded in 2009 to provide a platform for experts in field of PR and other fields converging to discuss burning developmental issues; as well as trends in PR practice, with action steps to follow.
This quarter PR Roundtable as revealed to Newsclickng.com is themed around “Growing the Enterprise Base through VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDING”; and is expected to be graced by notable personalities like the former Governor, Anambra State, Peter Obi; renowned Economist, Dr. Biodun Adedipe, and Prof. Joseph Nnanna from the Development Bank of Nigeria among others.
Mrs. Nkechi Ali-Balogun while feilding questions from Newsclickng.com at the briefing says the communication values and action steps of PR Roundtable qualify it as a viable platform to bring Venture Capitalists on board in growing laudable business ideas, innovations, and budding enterprises, to revive Nigeria’s economy and create jobs.
The CEO who is one of the leading lights of PR practice in Africa says lack of information accounted for why Nigeria could not tapped into the opportunities that Venture Capitalists system offers. She added that providing a communication bridge for both start-ups enterprise looking for funds and Venture Capitalists searching for laudable innovations to invest in, will ultimately drive the process.
It was made known that opportunities abound as many people who have the financial capacity are in search of investment channels; while those who have business start-ups seek for who to fund the business; hence the need to create a meeting point, which PR Roundtable was prepared to do at no cost.
