The third session at this year's #SMEConference2013 will bring back the series, "Conversation with the CEO", which features prominent and successful Nigerian CEOs answering many nagging small business questions on how they overcame the unique obstacles present in our Nigerian economical environment.

This year we have Obi Ezeude, who is the President/CEO of Beloxxi Group, known nationwide and beyond for their high quality biscuits, Beloxxi Cream Crackers. Tagged "The Nigerian response to the world in top quality biscuits production", Beloxxi Industries Limited is situated in Ikeja, Lagos, and gainfully employs over 150 Nigerians.
Beloxxi Cream Crackers come in bright blue packages that sport the Nigerian flag, with the phrase "Proudly Nigerian" - over 80 per cent of the raw materials used by the company are sourced locally.
Currently Beloxxi exports to Ghana, with intentions to spread trade to other countries soon, while domestic demand continues to explode.
