About this event

The Nigerian Economic Summit, convened every year by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), is the country's leading platform for dialogue between government, business, development institutions and civil society on economic policy. The 32nd edition, themed "Growth that Works: Delivering Jobs, Productivity and Shared Prosperity", focuses on turning recent reforms such as exchange rate unification, fuel subsidy removal and bank recapitalisation into jobs, productivity and investment.

Work Nigeria: a job-rich economy
Produce Nigeria: productivity, investment and industrialisation
Invest Nigeria: investment, welfare and social protection
Secure Nigeria: safety and stability for economic activity
Scale Nigeria: growth across states, sectors and communities
