Welcome to the BBG

​

Dear BBG members, welcome to your website, and thank you for taking the time to visit with us. There are lots of interesting pages with a variety of information that will assist you in growing your business and navigating your space within Nigeria.

These are challenging times, no doubt about it, with the deregulation of the petroleum sector and the resulting increases in fuel prices which in turn had a knock-on effect on practically every other commodity and item for sale in Nigeria. Of course, the wildly fluctuating currency situation makes it very hard for businesses to plan and thrive. Challenging times indeed.


Nonetheless, it has been said, and I believe it to be true, that challenges present opportunities, and we at the British Business Group are certainly working together, networking with each other, sharing ideas, sharing solutions, and finding opportunities even amid these challenges.

If you are not already a member of the British Business Group, I certainly encourage you to join us if you qualify. The qualification requirements are here on the website. And if you are, I encourage you to, whenever you are in Lagos, physically attend those meetings. There is nothing like being physically present at our meetings, meeting your fellow members one-on-one, networking with them, getting to know them better, building your relationships and building trust, and in so doing, finding the synergies where you can work together.

Our membership covers a whole spectrum of expertise from Legal and the Oil and Gas sector to Education, Medical, Construction, Security etc. So join us if you are eligible and if you are already a member, welcome to the website.

I will not conclude this quick message without saying a big thank you to the committee that diligently serves the BBG. We have the good fortune of having these amazing committee members who work with me as a team to run your organization and keep us all going.
Richard Wilmot, who looks after our events; Mark Wilhelm, who has charge of this website and all things technical, in addition to our member’s database; and the other members - of course, our secretary Dave Morris, treasurer Akin Akinola, Stanley Evans MBE, Ibinabo Oyibo, Chinelo Ononye, and John Todd. These are all your committee members. Please get to know them, and communicate with them. If you have any questions, go to anyone of us available or as you choose. We are all here to serve you.

I wish you a prosperous and safe time at work and at home in Nigeria.

Best wishes always.
Boma Alabi OON SAN
