As Nigeria observes World Environment Day 2026, GreenHubAfrica is hosting a high‑level CEO Roundtable aimed at turning climate discussions into concrete action.

The event, scheduled for Friday and titled “Accelerating Climate Action in Nigeria,” will bring together influential leaders from business, development, and policy sectors to chart practical routes for sustainable impact.

The roundtable will feature a distinguished lineup, including Mohammed Malik, UN Resident Coordinator; Lolu Alade Akinyemi, CEO of LaFarge Africa PLC; Abubakar Suleiman, Managing Director of Sterling Bank; and Chichi Aniagolu‑Okoye, Director for West Africa at the Ford Foundation. Henry Bassey, Founder and CEO of Greenhub Africa, will moderate the session. Participants will discuss key topics such as climate finance, sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, and policy alignment—areas vital to Nigeria’s shift toward a more resilient, low‑carbon economy.

Central to the convening is GreenHub Africa’s role as a strategic bridge linking public institutions, private enterprises, and development partners to foster meaningful collaboration. Its partnerships with leading organisations such as Sterling Bank and Lafarge Africa highlight the growing importance of private sector leadership in climate action. These institutions, pillars of Nigeria’s finance and infrastructure sectors, demonstrate a shared commitment to embedding sustainability into core business strategies while unlocking new growth opportunities within the green economy.

Beyond dialogue, the CEO Roundtable is positioned as a catalyst for actionable outcomes, enabling decision‑makers to agree on solutions that can accelerate investment, strengthen governance frameworks, and scale climate initiatives across sectors.

According to Henry Bassey, the session reflects a deliberate effort to bring together leaders who shape policy and business direction and have the capacity to drive measurable change. He noted that the urgency of climate action demands coordinated leadership and practical collaboration.
