This year, we will consider how Nigeria can truly re-invent itself and capitalize on the momentum of its current political transformation.”

He further stressed that the conference would take a deep-dive into the Nigerian economy to examine how the new administration can respond to the fiscal challenges of the nation, the key reforms that have to be tackled drawing from the successes of similar frontier and emerging countries, and the reality of the Nigerian growth opportunity within the context of the current operating environment. An evaluation of the central bank’s monetary policies and their effectiveness in a weaker global macro environment will also be explored, as well as the new roles the private and public sectors can play in providing financing solutions for growth.
