The 29th edition of the Nigerian Economic Summit is ongoing in Abuja. The summit, organised by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), brings together Nigeria’s economic eggheads every year to dissect the nation’s state of the economy.
This year’s summit must be brain-tasking to the participants considering the increasing poverty among Nigerians, insecurity including crimes and vices, unrestricted depreciation in value of the Naira and collapse in critical and common national and subnational infrastructure, among others.
Finding a holistic solution to these challenges will be a daunting one for the Nigeria’s economic experts, hence the Chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), Niyi Yusuf, told President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that Nigeria is on the edge of the precipice.
