Discover the Mission Behind WATO


Our focus on SMEs and collaborative partnerships sets us apart in driving sustainable economic development.

Infrastructural Advocacy

Business Growth & Sustainability

Economic Inclusion

Knowledge Sharing & Succession Plaining
WATO represents more than an organization; it is a movement to empower businesses in the South-East and beyond. As a Board, we are committed to creating a platform where entrepreneurs can thrive, share knowledge, and scale sustainably. Our vision is clear — to make the private sector the true driver of inclusive growth.
Joining WATO has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my professional life. The commitment to succession planning and governance resonates deeply with me. We are building institutions, not just businesses, ensuring continuity that outlives founders and secures prosperity for future generations
WATO gives the private sector a united voice. Through summits, workshops, and advocacy, we are bridging the gap between business and government. For me, WATO is not just about networking — it is about reshaping the narrative of what the South-East can contribute to Nigeria’s economic transformation.
