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.

Meet 9 Power Players Steering Nigeria’s Corporate Event Planning Industry

BACKGROUND 

The Event Industry in Nigeria is presently unregulated. As such there are many players in the sectors serving from the Low income to most Affluent in the society.

To fill in the gap or regulation, many practitioners have come together to forge a kind of discipline in the industry. Thus, we have organisations like

1. Association of Professional Party Organizers and Event Managers of Nigeria (APPOEMN)

2. Rental Professionals Society of Nigeria (RPSN)

3. Association of Event Vendors of Nigeria (ASSEV)

4. Nigeria Event Management Group (NEMG) a linkedin Group

There may be more.
