The Smartan House hosted Mr. Dapo Segun, Chief Financial Officer of Downstream at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), in a virtual meeting on Saturday. The session, which was requested by Mr. Segun, emphasized intergenerational dialogue as a tool for driving change in Nigeria. Mr. Segun, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) with over 30 years of experience in accounting and management, shared insights from his career and his vision for a better Nigeria. With a career spanning Fortune 500 companies and key roles in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, he brought a wealth of expertise to the discussion. Addressing the participants, Mr. Segun underscored the importance of collaboration between generations in solving Nigeria’s challenges. “If Nigeria has to change, it shouldn’t just be about the younger generation; the older generation is not excluded. I stand in the gap for the older generation because I will be the one to lead that change,” he stated. The CFO’s diverse experience, which includes roles in engineering and security services, was highlighted as a testament to the versatility and adaptability required in leadership. His message resonated with the Smartans, who described the session as a rare opportunity to gain valuable knowledge from an accomplished industry leader. The Smartan House, known for its commitment to empowering the next generation, echoed Mr. Segun’s belief in the power of mentorship and collaboration. The organization’s philosophy, “If we can't give this generation a better nation, then we will raise a better generation for the nation,” aligned with the theme of the discussion. The meeting concluded with a call to action for both younger and older generations to work together in creating sustainable change.
