Nigerian Students Compete in CGMA Business Leader Challenge

Thirty teams from seven Nigerian universities have entered the CGMA Business Leader Challenge 2023, a regional business competition aimed at business and accounting students organised by AICPA® and CIMA®, together as the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants. The event is sponsored by Stanbic IBTC.

Throughout the competition, the teams will be asked to address real-life business challenges and present them to a panel of Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA®) designation holders, and professionals in finance and business management. The CGMA Business Leader Challenge provides young Nigerian talent with an opportunity to enhance their business, leadership, and problem-solving skills, and showcase their potential as future accounting, finance, digital, and business leaders.
