When Transnationals Invest: Scaling Skills, Jobs and Inclusive Opportunities
Tuesday, 27 October 2026 · 8:00am - 9:15am · Transcorp Hilton, Abuja
About this session
Nigeria cannot achieve shared prosperity through fragmented philanthropy, however large its footprint. The real test is whether corporate social investment converts scale into system capability—linking skills to jobs, entrepreneurs to markets, and social interventions to lasting productivity gains. Philanthropic capital must therefore crowd in institutions, evidence and investment, not substitute for them.
