Oando PLC joined industry leaders and policymakers at the 2025 Annual Directors Conference hosted by the Chartered Institute of Directors Nigeria(CIoD). The two-day event, held at the Abuja Continental Hotel, explored the theme “Leading Through Change: Building Sustainable & Inclusive Enterprises.”
As an Associate Sponsor, Oando reaffirmed its commitment to advancing sound corporate governance and sustainability within Nigeria’s private sector.Representing the company, Ms. Ayotola Jagun, Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer, featured as a panellist in a session titled “Embracing Strategic Foresight for Future-Readiness.”
Speaking on the panel, Ms. Jagun emphasised that foresight must translate into action:
“Strategic foresight isn’t abstract; it’s about applying practical tools like scenario planning and risk assessments to anticipate change and build resilience. As directors, we must not only anticipate change but also ensure management has the frameworks and discipline to monitor and respond to emerging risks. That’s how we build truly future-ready organisations” she said.
She added that sustainability is rooted in values, noting that organisations thrive when they reward foresight and innovation, not just profitability.
The Chartered Institute of Directors Nigeria, as the apex professional body representing directors across industries, continues to serve as a key platform for promoting ethical leadership and corporate excellence in Nigeria. Oando’s participation underscores its belief that sustainable growth and national progress depend on visionary, accountable leadership.
For Oando, participation in this forum reaffirms the company’s belief that sustainable growth and national progress hinge on leadership that is accountable, informed, and with vision. Spaces like these are vital to building shared understanding, aligning business and policy interests, and advancing Nigeria’s long-term competitiveness in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
