Nigerian Economic Summit : Influencing economic policies through advocacy.

Nigerian Economic Summit : Influencing economic policies through advocacy.Sanya Adejokun, who was at the Nigerian Economic Summit, reports the resolve of participants at the summit to join hands with the government in giving the economy a fillip. THE Nigerian Economic Summit is an annual event that brings together chief executives/top level operators from the private sector and very senior government officials to discuss how best to develop the economy and monitor the progress that is being made. The main focus is the short to medium term policy direction while giving priority to the national interest in the context of the evolving global economy. It is interesting to reflect that a substantial proportion of the recommendations made by the NES over the past 10 years have since become part of government policy and have been or are being implemented by the Federal Government.
