She urged them to “believe in themselves, launch their dreams and keep working on them even when situations might appear too difficult, or when there seem to be limited support.”

The 3-day conference currently taking place in Lagos at the Landmark Events Centre, is targeted at beginners and professionals in the event and allied industry, with networking sessions, curated classes, panel sessions with topics on branding and marketing, finance, legal, technology, delivering excellent client service and more.

Awosika told the gathering of young men and women “that successful businessmen and women across the world are those who are willing to take risks.

“There are some skills and talents that you have, but you won’t know you have them until you are in situations where they are required. As you work towards the place you want to be, you should never be afraid to show what can be done. In Nigeria, let nobody try to tell you that you cannot achieve success when you want to start a business. But whenever you do, always remember that people are watching, so always apply integrity and be disciplined,” she added.
