Okonkwo, who was represented by the General Manager, Ikeja branch of the bank, Ken Opara, said skill building is the best way to grow as an entrepreneur. In his welcome address to the participants, Managing Director, Flame Academy and Consulting Limited, Orji Udemezue, said the conference is to help refocus the level of education and training in Nigeria. “Most organisations pay lips service to training and human capital development; as a nation, we don’t invest in human capital,” he stated.Udemezue noted that no economy in the world can grow or develop and bring about prosperity without human capital being at its best quality. “In every economy, you need capital, technology, and very importantly human resources to be able to bring that economy from a low level to a high level of prosperity, and bring about job creation. A well trained staff is an engaged staff,” he added.
