According to a statement by presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, this high-level event is scheduled for Thursday, September 22, 2022, on the sidelines of the 77th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) taking place in the American city.

Holding alongside the annual global gathering, the NIEPF is expected to draw the presence of world leaders in politics, economy, media as well as Civil Society Oganisations and international media to focus on the vast economic potentials of Nigeria and Africa’s leading economy.

Most significantly, he said President Muhammadu Buhari will deliver the keynote address at the event and will also host a High-Level Presidential Session with fellow Presidents and Heads of delegations on ‘Issues That Need Joint Action for African Countries on the Development Drive’ such as the Post-COVID-19 recovery and financing priorities; Africa’s Investment Climate and Market as well as De-risking the Continent.

Shehu said the NIEPF will bring together top Nigerian government functionaries as well as renowned and highly respected global public and private sector players rubbing minds on Nigeria’s Economic Outlook, focusing on Nigeria in The Global Economy; and International Partnership for Nigeria on The Development Drive.
