Effective corporate governance is essential for ensuring long-term business resilience, regulatory compliance, and sustainable value creation. For Lagos Free Zone, a flagship private-sector–led zone and a strategic gateway for trade, manufacturing, and logistics in Nigeria, strong board leadership is critical. As the Zone continues to expand its operations, attract global investors, and deepen its role in national economic development, the board’s ability to provide strategic oversight, uphold regulatory standards, and guide management with clarity becomes even more vital.
Objectives
- Strengthen the understanding of directors’ statutory, fiduciary, and ethical duties under Nigerian law and within the Free Trade Zone regulatory framework.
- Strengthen directors’ understanding of leading ESG frameworks, strengthen their capacity to guide sustainable development, promote social and economic inclusion, and ensure robust governance structures.
