NESG, in a statement signed by its Acting Head, Strategic Communication and Advocacy, Ms. Ayanyinka Ayanlowo, noted that the group has been at the forefront of Nigeria’s economic transformation for three decades.
The statement said that 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. NESG noted that 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.
The statement further stated that the 30th Nigerian Economic Summit (NES #30) with the theme, “Collaborative Action for Growth, Competitiveness, and Stability,” scheduled to hold from October 14-16, 2024, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja, stands as a beacon for the nation’s future trajectory.
“This theme encapsulates the essence of what is needed to propel Nigeria, and indeed Africa, towards a more prosperous, inclusive, and resilient economic future. The summit’s discussions and outcomes will be pivotal in shaping policies and strategies that harness Nigeria’s potential to drive continental transformation.
“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.
“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 synergise their efforts to address Nigeria’s and Africa’s socioeconomic challenges.
NESG noted that collaboration is essential for stability, growth, and inclusivity.
“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 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,” the statement said.
