The 31st Nigerian Economic Summit (NES #31), themed “The Reform Imperative: Building a Prosperous and Inclusive Nigeria by 2030”, will accelerate Nigeria’s policy direction and also ensure that reforms are citizen-centred, inclusive, and results-driven.

These conversations will aim to mobilize multisectoral action, influence public policy, and strengthen Nigeria’s capacity to deliver on its development commitments, the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has said.

Organisers of the event, the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), have assured that this year’s summit “will be more than a policy dialogue—it is a strategic checkpoint for Nigeria.”

In a statement issued by Ms. Ayanyinka Ayanlowo, Acting Head of Strategic Communication and Advocacy at the NESG, the summit comes at a time the country seeks to consolidate the gains of past reforms, maintain macroeconomic stability, and lay the foundation for long-term inclusive prosperity.

According to the statement, “the theme reflects the urgent need for bold, systemic reforms that can lead to tangible and measurable development outcomes across all sectors of Nigerian society.

“Guided by three key strategic pillars—Reforms, Resilience, and Results—NES #31 is expected to serve as a rallying point for national consensus on the policy and institutional shifts needed to secure Nigeria’s economic future.

 

“The summit will be structured around five interlinked sub-themes, each addressing a vital lever of economic transformation. The first sub-theme, Driving Industrialisation-led Growth, will focus on how to expand Nigeria’s industrial base through local value chain development, stronger integration of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and the application of technological innovation to boost productivity and competitiveness,” she said.
