The address will also examine lessons from developed and developing economies, as well as highlight role of universities as catalysts for technological and institutional leapfrogging. The conference will feature Prof Isaac Ayandele of University of Calabar as lead paper presenter, and will bring together the business community, policymakers, faculty, students, and other stakeholders to interrogate how business process re‑engineering is shaping the economic fortunes of nations.
