As part of its 20th year celebration,
Nigeria’s longest-running independent television talk show, ‘Inside
Out with Agatha’, is set to host a conference themed ‘Nigeria
Beyond Oil: The Future’ - a conversation on the need for the
country to depend on alternative means of revenue generation, with
Folorunsho Alakija, Vice Chairman of Famfa Oil as Guest Speaker.
The event is set to hold on Friday, August 4, at the Harbour Point, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Hosted by Agatha Amata, the event seeks
to highlight the need to engage the youth in the diversification of
the economy as they pose to be the future of our country.
“With my experience of 20 years in
the media industry working closely with young people, having the
opportunity to listen and analyse the thoughts of decision makers in
the country, it is safe to assume that Nigeria still remains crippled
under the country’s unwillingness to invest in the Nigerian youth
and other sectors of the economy," said Agatha Amata, CEO of
Inside Out Media.
"The youth are unemployed, no
development opportunity and agitations here and there! It has become
imperative to discuss the socio-economic future of this country, and
create an effective change to avoid imminent crisis, especially as it
concerns the youth, hence the need for this conference,” she added.
Other speakers at the event include
Emmanuel Uduaghan, former Governor of Delta State; Uche Nwuka, Head
Creatives, Bank of Industry; Muda Yusuf, Director-General, Lagos
Chamber of Commerce and Industry; Shedrack Madilon, Managing
Director, Safari54; Obi Buogo, CEO, Wood Designs, and Tosin Akande of
Social Critic.
Inside Out with Agatha at 20 is
supported by RED, Beloxxi, Rite foods, Beta Malt, Dufil Prima, OGD
Pictures, Klink Studios amongst others.
