#SEES5 Virtual Summit

The South East Governors’ Forum (SEGF) and private sector partners led by SEREDEC, as significant regional platforms, have organized the annual South East Economic Summits (SEES).

SEES is a multi-stakeholder event that provides an opportunity for the government, the private sector, and citizens to interact on issues relating to the development of the South East (SE).

This is the 5th in the SEES series of annual events. The SEES Series has been highly successful in driving regional thinking and dialogue concerning both the general Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) issues and specific Regional Infrastructural Projects.

The 5th SEES (17th December 2020) is being held virtually taking into consideration the effects that COVID-19 pandemic has had on physical gatherings.

With lessons from the #ENDSARS peaceful protests and impact of COVID 19, the Summit focuses on Youths as the engine for South-East entrepreneurship and industrialization, while promoting gender balance and inclusivity.

We thank our panelists:

  • Mr. Emmanuel Azubuike Chiemeka – Promoter, Linace Farms Nigeria Ltd
  • Mr. Ken Anyanwu – Representative, Aba Leather Industry
  • Mr. Gerald Ilukwe – Former MD/CEO, Galaxy Backbone Ltd

  • Mr. Philip Udeochu – Chief Program Officer, SMEDAN
