Lashone Group Hosts 14th Annual Meeting, Graduates 170 Entrepreneurs

Lashone Group, a conglomerate with 10 subsidiaries, recently held its 14th Annual Stakeholder Meeting alongside the graduation ceremony for approximately 170 students from the Lashone Business School in Ogba, Lagos. The graduates, who were awarded certificates at the event, received free training in various skills such as sewing, fashion design, cinematography, catering, and photography.

CEO of Lashone Group, Dr. Lanre Shonekan, encouraged the students to make good use of what they learned, emphasizing the importance of resilience and problem-solving in business.

He remarked, “The journey is not easy. Each step may feel like a drop in the ocean, but resilience is key, especially in our environment. You have to be tough, discreet, and adept at managing policies, taxation, and funding.”

Shonekan also underscored the importance for entrepreneurs to identify and solve real-world problems, monetize their solutions, and find a unique niche. Dignitaries from the security sector and other organizations graced the event, adding to a robust guest list. Additionally, the event featured the launch of Lashone Club and various other activities, with a highlight being a raffle draw that sent many guests home with prizes such as garri, yams, crates of eggs, and chickens.

“Life is all about evolvement. If you remain static, you will not grow. Many of these initiatives stem from continuous evolution. As we grow, we close some doors, open others, renew some, and pursue what is viable,” Dr. Shonekan
