Dr. Leo Stan Ekeh Inspires Young Entrepreneurs in End-of-Year Talk

In an inspiring end-of-year lecture delivered on December 14, 2024, to a select group of young entrepreneurs in Lagos, Dr. Leo Stan Ekeh emphasized the importance of resilience and caution in navigating Nigeria's economy. He encouraged his mentees not to lose hope, projecting that the country will begin to stabilize and return to a more comfortable economic zone by the third quarter of 2025. Ekeh stressed the need for due diligence in business dealings, particularly when engaging with individuals and corporations of questionable character.

During the talk, Dr. Ekeh addressed a growing concern in the business landscape: corporate and personality blackmail. He shared his own experiences, revealing how he and his companies have been targeted by blackmailers who aim to tarnish reputations. "The new fraud is Corporate and Personality blackmail," he noted, explaining that these malicious actors often collaborate with certain blogs, enlist the help of innocent law firms, and even involve some government officials to achieve their destructive goals.

Ekeh highlighted the critical importance of being vigilant in transactions and urged young entrepreneurs to maintain strong ethical standards. He warned that negative online content can have devastating effects on corporate and personal reputations, making it essential to conduct thorough research and engage only with reputable partners
