Economic Reforms and The Paradox of Growth

 

Nigeria is reforming. But are Nigerians seeing the growth?

As the country pushes through a wave of economic reforms, a bigger question demands attention: what kind of growth are these reforms producing, and for whom?

Join BusinessDay and the Yaba School of Thought (YSoT) this Independence Day for a timely conversation on Economic Reforms & the Paradox of Growth — examining Nigeria’s current reforms, the structural changes they are driving, and the reality or perception of improved economic outcomes.

📅 Thursday, October 1, 2026

⏰ 6:00 PM WAT

📍 Virtual on Zoom | Free registration

This Independence Day, let’s ask not just whether Nigeria is growing, but what that growth means for the country and its people.

Yewande Zaccheaus: The Woman Who Brought Discipline, Dignity & Vision to Nigeria’s Event Industry

 

If you leaf through the résumés of Nigeria’s most accomplished women, you might expect to find names like Yewande Zaccheaus at the helm of government ministries, global corporations, or multinationals. And for a while, that was the path she was on. With a Law degree from the University of Lagos and a prestigious LL.M from Cambridge University, she built a career that many professionals aspire to — first in legal practice, then in merchant banking, and later as Company Secretary, Legal Adviser, and Head of Private Banking at Ecobank Nigeria.

By every measure, she was destined for a future in the high echelons of corporate leadership or public service.

But in 2002, she walked away.

And that is where the real story begins.
