The 22nd Edition of the Nigerian Economic Summit (NES22) is taking place at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel Abuja from 10th to 12th October 2016. The forum themed “Made in Nigeria” is attended by hundreds of delegates and stakeholders. The theme was appropriately adopted for this year’s conference due to the need to embrace self- sufficiency as a viable alternative to improve Nigeria’s dwindling economy.
The participants of the summit are coming together to make propositions, strategies and communiqués, which will be submitted to the government and private bodies/stakeholders for use and adoption.
There will be several sessions today, which will include:
- A Roundtable with the Vice President on Job Creation, Skills and Empoyment
- The Situation Room: Parallel Insight Sessions on Manufacturing, Services, Agro Processing, ICT, Creative Industry and Micro & Small Enterprises
- Policy Commissions’ Sessions on Agriculture and Food Security Policy, Energy, Sustainability, Governance and Institutions, Human Capital Development, Infrastructure, Real Sector, Science and Technology, SME, Financial Inclusion and Financial Markets, Trade, Investment and Competitiveness.
