Last week, I had the privilege of sitting on the sidelines of a class of African chief executives at a training programme in Kenya’s leading business school.
Amongst the participants was a senior executive of a financial services industry regulator from Nigeria. The reason for his attendance: to learn what challenges business executives are going through so that the regulator can provide regulatory guidance within the business operational world. Not the “world according to the rose-tinted eyeglasses of a myopic and incredibly out of touch regulator.”
