In 1993, a group of passionate and concerned private sector leaders
representing key economic sectors conceived the Nigerian Economic
Summit (NES) and sustained it as a platform for bringing together private
sector leaders and senior public sector officials to discuss and dialogue on
the future of the Nigerian Economy.
Three years later, in 1996, the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG)
was established and incorporated as a non-profit, non-partisan private
sector organisation with a mandate to promote and champion the reform of
the Nigerian economy into an open, private sector-led globally competitive
economy.
Over the years, NESG has achieved significant progress in the areas of
research outputs, execution of programmes, seminars, conferences and
workshops aimed at facilitating the formulation and implementation of social
and economic reform programmes for the growth and transformation of
the Nigerian economy. NESG has emerged as the most notable platform for
public-private dialogue in Nigeria. During this period, the Group has established
an excellent working relationship with the Government of Nigeria, the public
sector, private sector, and other stakeholders.
The flagship of the Group’s advocacy efforts is the annual Nigerian Economic
Summit (NES), which provides government and private sector an opportunity
to review the progress made in our economic reform effort and agree on
practical ways to manage issues which may have constrained effective policy
implementation.
1. Commitment to a free market economy
2. Encouragement of private sector investment
3. Creation of an enabling environment
4. Governance in the national interest
5. Commitment to the rule of law
6. Establishment of economic foundation for democracy
