    The CWG @ 25 gala night was the culmination of a series of memorable events designed to mark the company’s 25th year anniversary. The event which was held in Lagos was attended by the company’s clients, partners, staff members, investors, members of the press, Alumni members as well as stakeholders from various sectors of the Nigerian economy.

    The event featured a prayer session meant to thank the Almighty for the leading the firm through a quarter of a century despite countless socio-economic challenges. The prayer session was led by the Vicar of the Catholic Diocese, Yola. It is a good thing that the leaders of the company had recognised the place of God in the entire picture.

The founder of CWG, Mr Austin Okere, in his address, reeled out a number of thought-provoking nuggets that befits the event and set the pace for many other thoughtful conversations.

    While Mr Okere’s speech described the journey so far, appreciated the key players in the process and gave an exposition on the mindset that could make a Nigerian company survive 25 years (excellence and gratitude), the Incumbent Chief Executive Officer, Mr James Agada set the agenda for the next 25 years. The highlight of his presentation is: innovation and an inclusive corporate culture is the way to the future.

    The event also featured discussions by other key players in the CWG Plc story.

    One of the highlights of the event was the brand exposition session, wherein Mr Kunle Ayodeji, the Chief Operating Officer, CWG Plc, introduced the audience to the brand look of the future. It is now official that the “Computer Warehouse Group Plc” will now be known as “CWG Plc”.
