Eventhive targets telecoms in 2025 expansion plan

Eventhive.ng, one of the leading business event platforms in Africa, is targeting new industries such as telecommunications, aviation, and international trade in its expansion plans for 2025.

Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Jamiu Ijaodola, disclosed this during the Nigeria Economic Breakfast Meeting, the first event organised by Eventhive.ng for the year, held recently in Lagos.

The event featured the Chief Executive Officer, Landmark Group, Paul Onwuanibe; Managing Director, NG Clearing Limited; Country Representative, US Trade and Development Agency, Josh Egba; and other prominent figures.

They shared how businesses can navigate the country’s challenging economic landscape and strategies for overcoming economic headwinds, fostering innovation, and leveraging growth opportunities in key sectors like telecoms and trade.

In his opening remarks, Ijaodola attributed the company’s growth to its partners, including MasterCard and other African business leaders, whose support has been instrumental in fostering the platform’s success.

“We’ve had the privilege of hosting Nigeria’s economic conversations over the past two years, bringing together business leaders from various sectors like finance, technology, and energy,” Ijaodola said. “In 2025, we are broadening our scope to include telecoms, banking, aviation, and trade.”

With a growing presence in four markets, including Kigali and Nairobi, Eventhive.ng is set to launch operations in Johannesburg next year. The company also plans to double its event portfolio, increasing from 12 events in 2024 to 21 in 2025.

Highlighting key upcoming events, Ijaodola noted, “Our annual Lagos Tech Fest, now in its fifth edition, will take place on February 19 and 20 at Landmark in Lagos. This remains a flagship event, bringing together innovators and leaders from across Africa.”
