NES #32 to drive national dialogue on jobs, productivity and shared prosperity
Nigerian Economic Summit to chart the next phase of Nigeria's economic transformation.
The Nigerian Economic Summit Group has announced the 32nd Nigerian Economic Summit, set to take place in Abuja on October 26-27, 2026. The summit's theme of "Growth that Works: Delivering Jobs, Productivity and Shared Prosperity" highlights the critical need to translate economic growth into tangible benefits for all Nigerians. With a population of over 220 million and vast natural resources, Nigeria has the potential to become a leading emerging economy.
However, millions remain unemployed, underemployed, and struggle with low productivity. The summit will bring together policymakers, business leaders, investors, civil society, and young Nigerians to develop strategies for creating jobs, boosting productivity, and achieving widespread prosperity. The summit will focus on five areas: building a job-rich economy, enhancing productivity through industrialisation and innovation, expanding investment to reduce poverty, scaling growth across regions, and protecting economic assets.
Guided by the pillars of productivity, human capital, and resilience, the summit aims to generate actionable policy recommendations and foster collaboration among various stakeholders to ensure that economic growth translates into improved lives for every Nigerian.
