The topics explored by LBS faculty were: Intra-African Regional Expansion: Rhetoric, Reality and Risks (Franklin Ngwu, Adeleye and Ogbechie), Strategic Human Resources Management, Labour Market Efficiency and Competitiveness in Africa: Contemporary Issues and Prospects for the Future (Adeleye and Anibaba) and Corporate Social Responsibility and Employee Relations in Africa: Evidence from the Nigerian Banking Sector (Amaeshi, Adeleye and Olufemi Amao).
