Segun Ajayi-Kadiri mni

Seasoned technocrat and passionate advocate for the industrial development of Nigeria and Africa. As CEO of one of the foremost business membership organisations in Africa, I lead other professionals in the advocacy for a more conducive environment for manufacturing business; enhancement of the sector’s competitiveness and sustainable economic development in general.

With over three decades of experience serving in virtually all parts of Nigeria and playing leading roles in sub-regional and continental bodies, I have consistently championed initiatives supporting industrial growth, fostering innovation and creating a favourable business environment. An alumnus of the foremost government think-thank institution in Nigeria, I am a keynote speaker, strategist, active media commentator, stakeholder coordinator, government liaison expert and project manager.

I currently serve as a member of the Presidential Economic Coordinating Council and the Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms.
