NESG seeks economic reforms translated to scalable jobs, shared prosperity amid rising costs

The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has called for an urgent shift in national policy, demanding that ongoing economic reforms move beyond macroeconomic stabilisation to directly driving scalable job creation and shared prosperity. Speaking at the press conference ushering in the 32nd NES in Abuja on Wednesday, Tayo Adeloju, chief executive officer, NESG noted the soaring production costs, severe infrastructure gaps, and widespread informal employment, warning that policy changes will remain meaningless to average citizens unless they actively boost productivity and deliver tangible, inclusive growth across the country. Adeloju explained that while Nigeria’s large market, resources, youthful population and position within AfCFTA give it real advantages, only efficient production can make it attract productive capital. He said: “Nigeria’s reforms over the past three years, subsidy removal, exchange-rate unification, fiscal restructuring and bank recapitalisation, have begun to restore macroeconomic discipline, improve external buffers and revive investor confidence. These are real achievements. “But stabilisation is necessary; it is not sufficient. The question before Nigeria has therefore shifted from restoring stability to converting it into transformation. The next phase must strengthen the transmission from reform to investment, investment to productivity, productivity to jobs, and jobs to shared prosperity. That is the growth that works. “This is urgent: Nigeria still faces high production costs, infrastructure deficits, low productivity and insecurity, with over 90 percent of employment informal. The task is not to grow faster, but to grow differently, raising productivity and creating jobs at scale.” Speaking further, Adeloju said that the NES#32, which will take place on 26th and 27th October 2026, is designed to move the conversation beyond reform implementation towards outcome delivery, asking plainly: what must change, who must act, what will it take to deliver, and how will we know it is working? He explained that the 32nd summit is structured around five strategic sub-themes, including Work Nigeria, Produce Nigeria, Invest Nigeria, Scale Nigeria and Secure Nigeria. “Work Nigeria closes the gap between education, skills and employment, so Nigeria’s youth become an advantage, not a vulnerability, the goal is productive jobs that raise incomes, produce Nigeria tackles our productivity and industrialisation challenge, strengthening agriculture, manufacturing and services so Nigerian firms can produce competitively at scale,” he said. “Invest Nigeria recognises that transformation requires capital, policy predictability and investor confidence to move capital from speculation into productive assets.” Scale Nigeria insists growth cannot stay concentrated in a few cities, every state must become an engine of production, connected to the national growth story. “Secure Nigeria recognises security as an economic imperative: insecurity raises production costs and deters investment. NES#32 will examine how to protect production corridors and restore confidence,” he said. Also speaking at the event, Doris Uzoka-Anite, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Budget and Economic Planning announced that key policy recommendations from the 31st Nigerian Economic Summit (NES#31) have been integrated into national execution frameworks, yielding over N9 trillion in public-private partnership (PPP) investments and shaping the upcoming National Development Plan (NDP) 2026-2030. According to Uzoka-Anite, recommendations captured in the NES#31 Green Book were formally submitted to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) via a Council Memorandum, transitioning private sector dialogues into enforceable executive action. Addressing implementation milestones, the minister highlighted that the policy proposals directly informed the finalization of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2026-2030, aimed at aligning long-term planning with annual budgetary allocations. The process, she said is being reinforced by the government’s HOPE-GOV framework to track quarterly performance and results. Uzoka-Anite pointed to industrial policy and infrastructure financing as primary beneficiaries of the summit’s policy proposals. “The 32nd Summit will not be simply about discussing Nigeria’s economic challenges,” Uzoka-Anite said. “It will be about identifying solutions, building consensus, and defining actionable pathways towards an economy that creates opportunities and improves the welfare of our citizens.” Related News Dozens of soldiers, militants and miners killed in fresh attacks in Borno AfCRA launches as Africa seeks lower borrowing costs Kano’s rice boom signals shift from trading hub to agro-industrial powerhouse Share
