Why Calabar?

Why Calabar?

Calabar and the University of Calabar have produced some of Nigeria’s finest minds. However, many young people feel they need to leave to grow. BCP Calabar 2025 is designed to change that narrative.


We’re bringing industry leaders, founders, and builders together with students and young professionals — to inspire, equip, and build the next generation of globally-minded, locally-grounded talents.
