“The Baton Is Now in Your Hands”

Addressing a vibrant audience of young professionals alongside industry veterans, partners, and key
stakeholders at Eko Hotels & Suites, Lagos, Mrs. Ekeh urged African youths to embrace
responsibility and leadership.

“The baton is now in your hands,” she said. “You must ensure that Africa once again takes its rightful
place as the cradle of civilization.”

Her remarks set the tone for an evening focused on innovation, loyalty, and the role of technology in shaping
Africa’s economic and social transformation.

Common Sense as a Cornerstone for African Success

Chairman of Zinox Group, Mr. Leo Stan Ekeh, also delivered a thought-provoking
address, highlighting the importance of practical wisdom in business and leadership.

According to him, common sense remains the most underrated but critical asset for Africans operating within
increasingly complex economic environments. He described it as the foundation for integrity, discipline,
resilience, and long-term vision.
