The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and a renowned economist, Bismarck Rewane, alongside industry experts, will converge to examine policy reforms and their impact on corporate competitiveness in Nigeria.
The president of PEARL Awards Nigeria, Tayo Orekoya, said this in a statement detailing the 2026 PEARL Awards Corporate Summit on Monday in Lagos.
Mr Orekoya said the focus was to strengthen alignment between public policy and private sector growth.
He said sustained competitiveness in the corporate sector depends heavily on stronger collaboration between government institutions and market operators.
He said the corporate event, slated for June 16 with the theme: “Policy Reforms and Corporate Competitiveness: Navigating Towards a Sustainable Edge,” will take place at Oriental Hotel, Lagos.
According to him, the forum is expected to bring together regulators, operators, and policymakers to chart pathways for a more resilient corporate ecosystem.
“Rewane, the Managing Director of Financial Derivatives Company Ltd., will deliver the keynote address, setting the tone for discussions on macroeconomic stability, reform priorities, and business sustainability.
“Other speakers include the Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Exchange Ltd., Mr Jude Chiemeka, and the Founder of Proshare Ltd., Mr Olufemi Awoyemi,” he said.
Mr Orekoya emphasised the need to address regulatory efficiency, investor confidence, and long-term corporate performance amid Nigeria’s evolving economic realities.
He stressed the importance of aligning public policy frameworks and reforms with corporate growth objectives.
He also listed some of the panellists as Catherine Nwosu of the Institute of Capital Market Registrars, Oluropo Samuel Dada of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers, and Bola Ajomale of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“The summit would serve as a strategic platform for addressing regulatory efficiency, investor confidence, and long-term corporate performance amid Nigeria’s evolving economic realities,” he said.
