October 29, (THEWILL) – Months after his failed bid to return to the National Assembly, nightlife entrepreneur, Shina Peller has consolidated on his newfound venture – luring investors to see the vast potential that Nigeria has to offer.
Recall that THEWILL had reported that the son of the late famous magician, Professor Moshood Abiola Peller was named a member of the organising committee for the proposed Nigeria–Benin Investment Summit. The summit took place in Cotonou, the capital city of Benin Republic.
Peller’s role required him to coordinate and bring in businessmen and women from Nigeria to attend the event. The summit was aimed at providing a unique opportunity for researchers, policy makers and development practitioners from Nigeria, Benin Republic and other parts of Africa, to debate development and the policies required to eradicate poverty in the context of the Post 2015 Africa Developmental Agenda, in particular, with a focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Following the success of the summit, the former lawmaker has launched another bid to woo Turkish entrepreneurs and investors to engage in Nigeria’s growing market for a remarkable Return on Investment. He was a keynote speaker at the 2023 Mindshift Empowerment and Employment Initiative (MEEI)’s Turkey-Africa Entrepreneurship Conference held in Istanbul, Turkey where he spoke on the topic, ‘The Power of Entrepreneurship, the Opportunities it holds and the remarkable potential that lies in the heart of Africa.’
Peller told his attentive audience that Nigeria, with over 250 ethnic groups and local languages, represents the economic and cultural potential that exist across the African continent, adding that Nigeria is the gateway to Africa’s world of creativity and describing Nigerian entrepreneurs as vibrant, innovative problem-solvers. He therefore appealed to Turkish businessmen the importance of forming an alliance with Nigerian entrepreneurs to harness and explore the vibrancy and creativity, potential of the power of entrepreneurship in taking responsibility for problem-solving.
