NESG to Host Economic Summit Amid Ebola Concerns
The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) announced that the 32nd Nigerian Economic Summit (NES#32) will take place as scheduled on October 26 and 27, 2026, in Abuja, despite concerns over an imported Ebola case confirmed on October 20 in the Federal Capital Territory. The summit will adopt a modified hybrid format with emergency health safeguards developed in collaboration with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) and the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.
The infected individual has been isolated, and health authorities are monitoring identified contacts. NESG's decision to proceed was based on an assessment against NCDC Public Health Guidelines for Mass Gatherings, concluding that a single case did not necessitate cancellation.
Physical attendance will be limited to registered delegates, with no on-site registration allowed. All attendees must complete health declarations and undergo daily temperature screenings.
Delegates experiencing symptoms or having contact with Ebola cases are encouraged to participate virtually.
