The 30th edition of the Nigerian Economic Summit (NES#30), will focus on issues around collaborative action for growth, competitiveness and economic stability, which form its theme.
This theme, according to the organisers, encapsulates the essence of what is needed to propel Nigeria, and indeed Africa, towards a more prosperous, inclusive, and resilient economic future.
The summit organised by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), a private sector-led think tank and policy advocacy group, will hold from October 14 to 16 2024 in Abuja.
The group says discussions at the summit and outcomes will be pivotal in shaping policies and strategies that harness Nigeria’s potential to drive continental transformation.
According to the NESG in a statement yesterday, the summit will harness diverse perspectives and collective expertise to address common challenges, create shared opportunities, and ensure sustainable economic progress for Nigeria and indeed all Africans.
“As we approach the 30th edition of the Nigerian Economic Summit, NESG is poised to facilitate groundbreaking discussions that will influence the nation’s economic policies and strategies,” NESG the statement said.
“The theme, “Collaborative Action for Growth, Competitiveness, and Stability,” underscores the importance of collaborative action among all stakeholders. Governments, businesses, civil society, and international partners must synergize their efforts to address Nigeria’s and Africa’s socioeconomic challenges.”
Over the years, NES has been a catalyst for significant economic reforms in Nigeria, particularly in the banking sector, telecommunications, maritime and seaports, and the energy sector.
These reforms, the NESG said have been crucial in creating a more efficient, competitive, and diversified economy. “The NES platform has also been instrumental in fostering an environment that encourages entrepreneurship and innovation, driving Nigeria’s economic growth and global competitiveness.
“By emphasizing collaborative action, NES #30 will chart a path towards a more unified, competitive, and prosperous future,” the statement said.
For 30 years, the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has been at the forefront of Nigeria’s economic transformation.
As a private sector-led think tank and policy advocacy group, NESG has tirelessly worked to bridge the gap between the public and private sectors. Its mission is to foster open and continuous dialogue on Nigeria’s economic challenges and opportunities, ensuring that the country’s economic policies are inclusive, forward-thinking, and conducive to sustainable development.
