Renowned actor, producer, and cultural icon Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) is set to headline the upcoming Pivot Nigeria Conference 2026, where he will lead a high-level discussion on the tangible economic and social impacts of the nation’s public image.
Scheduled for September 29, 2026, at the Muson Centre, Lagos, the conference centres on the theme: ‘The reputation dividend: Who pays for Nigeria’s perception?’
Joining RMD on the speaker roster are notable industry leaders, including Adedoyin Jayesimi, Co-Founder of Comms Avenue, Rosemary Egabor-Afolahan, Director of Commercial and Communications at News Central TV and Elvis Eromosele, Managing Editor, TheNumbersNG.com, a leading business and economy news platform.
According to Victoria Uwadoka, conference convener and Lead Consultant of HighStakes PR Professionals, the event will critically examine how Nigeria’s global and domestic image is forged, sustained, and leveraged, as well as the heavy costs that poor national perception inflicts on its citizens, businesses, and economic opportunities.
Uwadoka, a vocal advocate for narrative ownership, emphasised the urgency of shifting control over the nation’s story. “We cannot wait for others to tell our story, only us can tell our own authentic stories,” she stated.
Organisers are calling on industry leaders, storytellers, and changemakers to participate in reshaping Nigeria’s narrative.
