“Litigation slows down infrastructure delivery. Contracting parties must adopt de-escalation clauses; negotiation, then expert resolution and other forms of alternative dispute resolution mechanics before even thinking of litigation.” – Okey Ekweanya, Partner at KENNA, speaking at the Infrastructure Colloquium in Enugu.

Held on Thursday, June 5, 2025, the session was convened to identify legal and financial solutions for regional and national infrastructure development.

The 2025 World Intellectual Property Day, themed “Feel the Beat of IP,” sought to raise awareness of the vital role music plays in society and to highlight the importance of ensuring that creators and other key stakeholders in the music industry are adequately protected and fairly compensated for their works.

In alignment with the objectives of this year’s World Intellectual Property Day, and in commemoration of World Music Day, celebrated annually on June 21st; members of KENNA’s Intellectual Property Team analyse the recently released Collective Management Regulations, 2025 by the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) and its potential impact on safeguarding the rights of music owners and rights holders in Nigeria.

“At some point, evidence of that failure will surface in the form of missed targets, stalled projects, or an exodus of talent. The cure lies in structuring a fluid line of conversation between the board and management; one where feedback flows freely and questions are welcomed, not feared.” – Nimma Jo-Madugu, Partner, Kenna at the 2025 Executive Session by Kenna in Lagos.

Partner and member of Kenna’s Corporate Governance & Regulatory Compliance unit, Nimma Jo-Madugu, offered observations on the telltale signs of board overreach and management missteps that reveal deficiencies in organisational governance.

Trust and respect are essential, and only within a culture of genuine trust and respect can effective decision-making and collaboration flourish. When we dare to be part of the board or management, we must have alignment that speaks to a shared purpose.” – Dr. Emomotimi Agama, Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), at the 2025 Executive Session hosted by KENNA in Lagos.

On Wednesday, May 21, 2025, business leaders, governance experts, and regulators gathered at an Executive Session hosted by KENNA to explore how synergistic board–management partnerships drive sustainable growth and resilience in a rapidly changing business world.

Dr. Agama shared insights on the most important factors that foster a harmonious relationship between board and management: communication, respect, trust, and clear delineation of responsibilities.
