Former Chairman of First Bank of Nigeria, Ibukun Awosika, and entrepreneur and nation-builder Tara Fela-Durotoye, will be empowering youths with leadership skills at the maiden edition of the Building Beyond You Conference 2025 in Lagos, on Thursday, September 18.
According to a statement released on Monday, the conference, themed ‘Building Beyond You’, is designed to inspire, equip, and challenge Africa’s next generation of leaders to create legacies that extend far beyond personal success.
The line-up reflects the depth and diversity of leadership excellence across Africa. From Durotoye, widely recognised as a leadership coach and nation-builder, to Awosika, entrepreneur, author, and trailblazer, to Atedo Peterside, renowned businessman and Chairman of ANAP Foundation, the stage will welcome voices whose work embodies the principle of building beyond personal achievement.
Speaking about the vision for the conference, Tara Fela-Durotoye stated, “This is not just another event. It’s a movement to shift mindsets. Building beyond you means creating structures, businesses, and systems that thrive long after you are gone. It’s about raising leaders who can multiply influence, wealth, and impact for generations.”
The day-long programme will feature keynote addresses, thought-provoking panel discussions, fireside conversations, and breakout workshops. The conference is structured to move beyond theory into practical frameworks that can shape enterprises, movements, and communities with long-lasting influence.
With a strong mix of seasoned executives, young entrepreneurs, and community leaders in attendance, the Building Beyond You Conference will catalyse collaborations, partnerships, and sustainable initiatives across Nigeria and beyond.
Organisers said this 2025 edition is supported by Coca-Cola, MTN, i-Invest, and House of Tara, with Nairametrics as the official media partner. Tickets are now available on official event platforms, while sponsorships, partnerships, and volunteer opportunities remain open to organisations and individuals eager to align with the vision of raising leaders who build for lasting impact.
