r Strive Masiyiwa is set to make a return to Nigeria for a town hall conversation with Nigerian Entrepreneurs. The event tagged ‘Nigeria Entrepreneur Town Hall with Strive Masiyiwa’ is scheduled for September 8, 2017 between 10:30am to 1pm at Landmark Centre 2&3 Water Corporation Road, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Strive is a UK-based Zimbabwean businessman, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He is the founder and executive chairman of diversified international telecommunications group Econet Wireless.

He is the owner of Kwese (a dynamic entertainment company organizing the town hall in Nigeria), Zimbabwean satellite and broadcasting network under Econet Media. Dr Strive is scheduled to be in Nigeria as part of his tour of nations including Kenya, and some other African countries.

In terms of his involvement with Nigeria, since the departure of Econet in an unceremonious fashion, he recently invested in Nigerian Basketball League with Kwese TV as official broadcasters. Mr Strive indeed believes in Nigeria as he recently made a profound statement about Nigerian youth taking center stage in the nearest future.
