The previous three installments of the summit had an impressive 10,000, 35,000 and 50,000 reach respectively, thanks to the wide publicity within the core Onitsha metropolis. This year’s event is expected to reach an even broader audience, with an estimated100,000 reach. Overall, the Under 45 CEOs Business and Leadership Summit aims to reposition participants for personal and business growth, and to provide a platform for young African entrepreneurs to network, learn, and thrive.
