NESG Hosts 32nd Economic Summit on Jobs and Prosperity
The 32nd Nigerian Economic Summit, organized by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), addressed the theme “Growth That Works: Delivering Jobs, Productivity and Shared Prosperity.” This summit highlighted the urgency of economic objectives as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections. The NESG has provided a platform for public-private sector dialogue for over three decades, promoting national development through consensus among the Nigerian elite.
The summit's theme reflects economic goals enshrined in Chapter II of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, which emphasizes socio-economic justice and welfare for citizens. Despite the constitutional framework advocating for a balanced economy, political parties have not sufficiently incorporated these principles into their manifestos and development strategies.
The summit concluded with a call for greater attention to the constitutional provisions that guide economic management in Nigeria.
