The event will promote deliberations and analyses of

the 2023 FirstBank Nigeria Economic Outlook aims to set the tone for the year
by providing an opportunity for participants to learn directly from economic
experts. Participants will be better informed and knowledgeably empowered to
make the right decisions in their socio-economic activities in 2023.
‘Biodun Adedipe, Ph.D, founder and Chief Consultant of B.
Adedipe Associates Limited (BAA Consult will lead deliberations at the event as
its keynote speaker. Other speakers are FirstBank’s Ini Ebong, Executive
Director, Treasury and International Banking; Tosin Adewuyi, Executive
Director, Corporate Banking; Ugo “Ugodre” Obi-chukwu, Founder, NairaMetrics as
well as Mosope Arubayi, economist and global financial analyst. Chike Uzoma,
Head, Strategy & Corporate Development, FirstBank will moderate the event.
According to Mrs. Folake Ani-Mumuney, Group Head, Marketing
& Corporate Communications of FirstBank ‘Our forthcoming Nigeria Economic
Outlook webinar is a viable opportunity for one to be informed on key trends
and activities that will shape the global socio-economic landscape in 2023.
2022 was indeed a turbulent year and from the 2023 forecast, the growth would
still be slow. In addition, bearing in mind 2023 being an election year in
Nigeria, like every democratic nation around the world, commercial and business
activities in the country will be impacted by the forthcoming election.
I encourage everyone to join the event as the keynote
speaker and panelists will shed more light and perspectives which will have
participants informed about opportunities and happenings that will shape the
socio-economic and political environment in the country and the world at
large.”
