On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
When Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Herbert Wigwe bought Access Bank in 2002 it was one of the smallest and most crisis-prone banks in Nigeria. In Leaving the tarmac, Aigboje shares their experience of turning it into one of the biggest and strongest banks in the country. Leaving the tarmac provides a detailed blueprint for how to create a sustainable business founded on excellence, how to build and lead a winning team, and how to operate successfully in emerging markets. The book details the setbacks and triumphs experienced along the way, providing an unrivalled insight for anyone planning to build a company or do business in the volatile but high-growth markets of modern Africa.
Join us for a panel discussion featuring the book’s author, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, Ngaire Woods (Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government), Arunma Oteh (Executive-in-Residence at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford) and Louisa Chinedu-Okeke (Special Assistant on Finance to the President of Nigeria and Blavatnik School alumna from the MPP class of 2018).
