ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The North Central Nigeria Family Business Summit 2026 (NCNFBS 2026) is a pioneering academic and practitioner-focused conference designed to explore the dynamics, challenges, and opportunities facing family-owned businesses in the North Central geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Organized through a strategic partnership between leading universities and professional associations in the region, the summit aims to bridge the gap between academic research and practical business realities.
Family businesses constitute the backbone of economic activity in North Central Nigeria, contributing significantly to employment generation, wealth creation, and regional development. Yet, these enterprises face unique challenges related to succession, governance, access to finance, and adaptation to modern business practices. This conference seeks to address these critical issues through rigorous academic discourse, experiential sharing, and collaborative problem-solving.
RATIONALE AND BACKGROUND
RATIONALE AND BACKGROUND
North Central Nigeria, comprising the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja) and the states of Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, and Plateau, occupies a strategic position as Nigeria's geographical and political heartland. The region's economy is characterized by a diverse mix of agricultural enterprises, trading businesses, small and medium-scale manufacturing, and an emerging services sector—many of which are family-owned and operated.
Despite their economic significance, family businesses in this region have received limited scholarly attention compared to their counterparts in the southern and northern commercial hubs. This gap in research and knowledge sharing creates a compelling need for a dedicated platform that addresses the unique socio-economic, cultural, and institutional contexts shaping family business practices in North Central Nigeria.
