The Thursday Business Group (TBG) will tomorrow celebrate its 10th anniversary with a Founders’ Day Dinner and Awards Night in Lagos.
In a statement, the group’s General Secretary, Gbolahan Alade, said the celebration would bring together members, business leaders, partners and distinguished guests to reflect on the Group’s journey, recognise outstanding contributions and unveil its aspirations for the next decade.
The Guv’nor of TBG, Femi Adeyeye, said: ‘Ten years ago, our vision was to bring people together around trusted relationships, shared interests and mutual opportunity. Today, TBG has grown into a community with a broader purpose. Our ambition is to translate the strength of our network and the relationship capital we have built into greater business opportunities, strategic investments, stronger institutions and sustainable impact.’
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees(BoT), Tope Akande, added: ‘A group’s success should not be measured merely by the number of years it has existed, but by the institutions it builds, the value it creates, the opportunities it enables and the legacy it leaves behind.
Our responsibility is to ensure that TBG’s next decade is defined by stronger governance, purposeful investments, enterprise development and greater contributions to society.’
Beside the dinner, there would be awards for members, individuals, institutions and organisations whose achievements, contributions and commitment reflect the ideals of enterprise, leadership, innovation, public service and social impact championed by the Group.
The group also said the anniversary is a celebration of a collective achievement and a renewed commitment to its founding ideals.
‘The first decade has been about building relationship capital, strengthening trusted networks and establishing a community bound by shared interests and collective purpose. ‘The next decade must be about converting that capital into enduring enterprise, strategic investments, stronger institutions and measurable social impact.
‘We celebrate the journey, but our greater responsibility is to build the future,’ the statement said.
