Earlier the Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima, had accepted to be Special Guest of Honour at the event scheduled to hold May 23, 2024 at Civic Center, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The Summit, an economic development thought leadership event hosted by Vanguard Newspapers every year, has gained traction in the past seven years as a major public-private sector platform for reviews and cross-fertilization of economic development ideas by Nigeria’s public and private sector leaders.

The event would be chaired by eminent economists, Dr. Ayo Teriba.

Several other private sector leaders and corporate chieftains as well as the leaders of the civil society organizations in Nigeria have already enlisted their participation in the event.

The objective in general and the theme in particular is to inform and educate the stakeholders in the Nigerian economy, including foreign investors,  on the fundamental issues, the policy options and current measures aimed at addressing the economic challenges.

It is expected that the outcome of the deliberations and conclusions at the Summit would form part of the considerations for policy reviews if necessary as well as implementation efficiency.
