ESC and Eurocham Launch Business Reform Agenda in Nigeria

The Economic Summit Group (ESC) and the European Chamber of Commerce in Nigeria (Eurocham) have initiated a reform agenda designed to address and simplify policy bottlenecks affecting Nigeria's business environment. This collaborative effort aims to establish a joint reform architecture that will target key regulatory and institutional interventions.

The initiative will focus on three priority reform tracks, including engaging the National Assembly to strengthen business-enabling legislation, systematically reviewing and benchmarking regulatory agencies to improve enforcement consistency, and judicial reforms aimed at enhancing commercial dispute resolution and contract enforcement. The partnership will guide a 12-month implementation work plan from April 2026 to April 2027, supported by a joint reform steering committee that will meet quarterly to track progress and respond to emerging regulatory developments.

Dr. Uchenna Ogbonna, the Executive Director of ESC, emphasized that this partnership with Eurocham will create a structured mechanism for reform delivery, ultimately improving the ease of foreign direct investment in Nigeria.
