NESG: Investment Key To Nigeria’s Growth, Prosperity

By FIDELUS ZWANSON

THE Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) says attracting both domestic and foreign investment is critical for Nigeria to sustain economic growth and deliver prosperity.

Ahead of the 31st Nigerian Economic Summit scheduled for 6–8 October in Abuja, NESG Acting Head of Strategic Communication, Ayanyinka Ayanlowo, stressed that investor confidence hinges on strong policies, infrastructure, legal frameworks, and market access.

She said the summit’s sub-theme, “Unlocking Investment amid Global Trade Shifts,” will explore how Nigeria can deepen reforms, boost competitiveness, and position itself as a hub for African and global trade, particularly under AfCFTA.

The main theme, “The Reform Imperative: Building a Prosperous and Inclusive Nigeria by 2030,” will focus on modernising trade policies, improving infrastructure, expanding regional value chains, and strengthening investor confidence to drive inclusive growth.
