New NESG Chair Omoboyede Olusanya Advocates for Economic Change
Omoboyede Olusanya has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG). During the closing session of the 32nd Nigerian Economic Summit at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, on October 26 and 27, 2026, he called for a shift in Nigeria's economic policy priorities.
Olusanya stressed that economic performance should be evaluated based on its impact on the lives of ordinary Nigerians, rather than solely on macroeconomic indicators. He introduced the principle of "Growth that Delivers," which aims to translate economic policies into measurable outcomes.
Olusanya outlined five commitments, including strengthening accountability, enhancing research and policy intelligence, and mobilizing investments in key sectors such as agriculture and technology. He also emphasized expanding economic opportunities for micro, small, and medium enterprises and informal-sector businesses.
Furthermore, he pledged to strengthen the NESG's institutional independence and increase participation from women and young people.
