The Chartered Institute of Directors (CIoD) Nigeria has continued its 2026 Annual Directors Conference in Lagos, bringing together corporate directors, business executives, policymakers and governance professionals to examine the changing demands of leadership in the new economy.
The two-day conference, held on November 10 and 11 at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, is themed “Reimagining the Boardroom: For Inclusive and Sustainable National Prosperity in the New Economy.”
It focuses on how effective corporate governance, strategic leadership and responsible decision-making can strengthen businesses and contribute to Nigeria’s economic development.
On Day Two, the conference featured its third plenary session, titled “Board Accountability in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.”
The session placed the responsibilities of corporate boards in the context of rapid technological advancement and the growing influence of artificial intelligence on business operations and decision-making.
The discussions form part of a wider programme examining issues such as strategic competitiveness in a changing global economy, entrepreneurial growth, access to capital, market expansion and sustainable business development.
The conference also provides a platform for directors and industry leaders from the public and private sectors to exchange ideas, build professional connections and consider how organisations can respond to emerging economic and technological challenges.
