OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Leaving the Tarmac: Buying a Bank in Africa
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).
Please note: This event will be held online via Zoom and also livestreamed and archived on our YouTube channel. Register via the event webpage to receive joining instructions.
