Lagos, Nigeria – November 1, 2025 — With statistics from the United Nations revealing that only 5–10% of Nigerian small businesses survive beyond their first five years, the need for sustainable business strategies has never been more urgent. In response to this critical challenge, Blaque Swann Legal Practitioners is set to host ASCEND 360: Build, Protect, Grow — a high-impact conference aimed at empowering entrepreneurs, creatives, and career professionals with the tools to scale, protect, and sustain their ventures.
Scheduled for Saturday, November 22, 2025, in Lagos, the event promises to be a launchpad for innovation and resilience, bringing together some of Nigeria’s most influential voices in business, media, law, and government.
Key speakers and facilitators include Olushola Olaleye, founder of Trips Clothing; Tomike Adeoye, renowned media personality and actress; Babalola Ifeoluwa-Isaac (SnappCode), Nigeria’s top lifestyle creative; Pastor Tunde Adisa, respected business coach; Bukola Odoe, Special Adviser in the Office of Public and Private Partnerships, Lagos State; Jubril A. Gawat, SSA to the Lagos State Governor on New Media; Mr. Rotimi Toluhi, CEO of Atorj Technologies Limited; Damilola Adeyemi, marketing strategist and COO of RedrickPR; Ebuka Chidube, founder of The Exodigital Company; and Temidayo Adeyemi, Head of Operations at Blaque Swann Legal Practitioners.
ASCEND 360 will address critical aspects of business success — from building strong foundations and legal protections to leveraging marketing and innovation for growth.
With support from partners including McVities, Indulge Microfinance Bank, Lekan Adisa Foundation, and Silverbird, the event will feature thought leadership sessions, strategic networking, and policy-focused discussions tailored to the growth of Nigerian SMEs and creative professionals.
