The Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) has announced plans to reposition and strengthen Nigeria and British businesses particularly the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with a golf tournament.
Mr Uwamai Igei, Chairman, Golf Committee, NBCC, made the disclosure at a media briefing on Friday in Lagos.
According to Igei, Golf was chosen by the chamber as its sporting event because it fosters high-level networking and relaxation among business executives and MSMEs.
He claimed that the Oct. 21 event at the Ikoyi Club will foster business relationships among participants and offer MSMEs the synergy and collaborations they needed to succeed.
Igei continued by saying that due of their extremely hectic schedules, corporate executives began playing golf because it gave them a chance to network and conduct business without incurring any financial loss.
“MSMEs account for almost 40 million businesses in Nigeria and the chamber is using this event as a platform to position them as the engine of economic growth.
“In furtherance of our commitment to building and expanding business opportunities for members and prospects, this annual event of the chamber is aimed at bringing together business leaders, investors, policymakers, and other key stakeholders in trade and investment.
“This is to strengthen relationships among members and non-member Nigerian and British organisations.
“Participation at this event would help consolidate your brand’s loyalty among a captive audience of distinguished and accomplished professionals and would present the opportunity to entertain your key customers and staff golfers,” he said.
