In the light of the current realities of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the grappling uncertainties around the economy, business continuity, food security, social welfare, contract performance and global mobility remain very disturbing in some case even more so than the ravaging COVID-19 virus itself. Amidst global conversations around appropriate business responses and strategies there seem to be lacking, a targeted, focused approach to crisis response for MSMEs who are projected to be the most hit by the catastrophic impact of the virus on business continuity and sustenance.

This conversation will:

• Bring together thought leaders within the Nigerian Business community to propose home grown solutions to address the going concern risks to MSMEs;

• Create a platform for business owners and leaders to ask questions around their peculiar challenges and concerns;

• Propose appropriate responses and strategic plans required to minimize the disruptive impact of the pandemic to MSMEs and to achieve timely business recovery.

Key focus areas to discuss are:

• Leading during a pandemic – What should business owners/leaders be doing?

• Navigating Contractual Rights and Obligations: When does force majeure or frustration set in?

• Digital Transformation for small businesses: what, when and how?

• Stimulus, bailout, concessions: Government Intervention for MSMEs and the recovery curve

• Loan and Credits – Navigating ballooning interest rates and imminent default
