Industry leaders, corporate executives and high-growth entrepreneurs converged in Lagos for the 2025 LIMBsimple Strategy Growth Convention, a two-day programme designed to deepen strategic capacity within Nigeria’s private sector and strengthen the systems required for sustainable enterprise expansion.
Held November 26th & 27th, 2025 at the Eko Convention Centre, the event responded to a clear market gap: despite rising entrepreneurial activity, many Nigerian businesses still struggle with weak operational structures, inefficient processes and limited access to strategic growth models. The convention sought to bridge this gap by offering actionable frameworks rather than theoretical discussions.
A Convening Driven by Market Realities
Nigeria’s business environment continues to be shaped by inflationary pressures, foreign-exchange constraints and rising costs of operation. Against this backdrop, the event focused on helping SMEs and mid-sized firms build predictable, systems-driven growth engines, an area increasingly recognised as critical for resilience.
Participants engaged in practical sessions covering revenue-scaling systems, market positioning strategies, operational efficiency, team optimisation and a 90-day post-event support programme aimed at accelerating implementation.
TTL Group MD Underscores the Centrality of Structure, Boldness and Character
A major highlight of the convention was the keynote address by Dr. Onuoha Nnachi, Group Managing Director of TTL Group, whose presence reinforced the event’s strategic relevance within Nigeria’s organised private sector.
In his remarks, Dr. Nnachi spotlighted the structural deficiencies that continue to hinder many Nigerian businesses, noting that sustainable growth cannot occur without systems.
“A business without systems is a business designed to struggle. Growth is never a function of effort alone; it is the result of structure,” he said. expanding on this by challenging entrepreneurs to embrace boldness as a competitive advantage in a rapidly changing economy.
“The best does not excel but the bold win,” he declared, emphasising that success in today’s market belongs not just to the most skilled, but to those willing to take decisive, strategic risks. Dr. Nnachi also delivered a candid message on personal value and usefulness within organisations.
“If you cannot be used, you can never be useful,” he said, urging founders and managers to build a mindset oriented toward service, collaboration and adaptability. He stressed that at the centre of sustainable entrepreneurship is the development of strong personal values. “As an entrepreneur, build character,” he added, noting that long-term value creation is rooted in discipline, integrity and resilience.
Dr. Nnachi commended the organisers for curating a platform focused on execution, describing the convention as “one of the most practical, high-impact business strategy forums in Nigeria today.”
A Platform Positioning Businesses for the Next Phase of Growth
This year’s edition of the LIMBsimple Strategy Growth Convention reaffirmed its identity as a bridge between emerging entrepreneurs and seasoned operators navigating the complexities of Nigeria’s evolving market.
With its emphasis on structure, bold leadership, character and execution, the convention positioned itself as a critical enabler for businesses seeking sustainable scale in an economy where efficiency and competitiveness have become non-negotiable.
As Nigeria looks ahead to 2026, the message from this year’s event is clear: the future of the private sector will depend not only on strategy and systems, but on the boldness and character of the entrepreneurs driving enterprise transformation.
