CIMA taps Seni Adetu’s boardroom experience for GBC

 

Mr Seni Adetu, former Managing Director of Guinness Nigeria was on hand as one of the judges at the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) Global Business Challenge (GBC) on June 6, 2015 at the magnificent edifice of the Lagos Arbitration Court in Lekki, Lagos.

 No doubt, Seni’s star shone brightly among the assembled distinguished panel of judges that consisted of boardroom gurus in Nigeria’s corporate firmament as he brought to bear his extensive boardroom experience across Africa in probing the suitability or otherwise of the presentations of the teams that participated in the competition.

The GBC, an international business competition for undergraduates around the world, is designed to bring out the best in the young business leaders of tomorrow. By working together as a team of four to present a business case study, undergraduates from Nigerian universities were given the opportunity to showcase their talent in business management, and to win a place at the GBC global final in Warsaw, Poland next August.

Seni’s contribution on the night was illustrative of his professional excellence and chequered career of success and leadership. Participating teams and the audience saw a glimpse of why multinational companies like John Holt Plc, Coca Cola and Guinness Nigeria Plc deemed it fit to appoint Seni as CEO in four African countries over the years.

The young men and women who participated in the competition, no doubt, left the venue with great reverence for Seni’s penetrating questions and instructive comments which would certainly help to prepare them for greater success in their respective business career.

Wrist watch buying tips for men

• Lifestyle: if your routine dress code is business casual, then a causal wristwatch should suit you. However, if you are the executive boardroom regular who attends fancy dinners with clients, consider a dress watch.  

• Budget: before shopping for a wristwatch, you need to have a budget for one. This determines whether you are buying a high-end wristwatch or not.

• Attributes: know the features which appeal to you in a wristwatch. Are you looking for an analog or digital watch? Must it have date or alarm? These and others factors should be considered.

• Brand: having a brand in mind makes shopping for a wristwatch a lot easier. If you have no idea of the brand you want, skip through fashion magazines, specialized wristwatch magazines or browse the internet to check out various brands.

• Battery life: before buying a wristwatch, it is important that you know the kind of battery the wristwatch takes. Also, get a good idea of how long the battery will last.

• Quality: imitations of quality wristwatches abound. Buy from companies, distributors or retailers that have good reputation. It is recommended that you buy a reputable brand, if you can afford it.
