Determined to contribute to Nigeria’s economic development by way of
offering platforms that bridge the gap between business and government,
and create solutions to identified public policy problems, Growth and
Transformation Professionals (GTpro) is organising a Masterclass on
Government Relations and Public Policy Strategy.

Policy Challenges for Business Success and Sustainability,” scheduled to hold

experienced technocrats as speakers and panelists giving cognate insights.
In a media release made available in Lagos, the Co-Founder of GTPro and a

best brains in the policy and law making space and operators of successful
companies in Nigeria.
