The Nigerian Economic Summit Group is set to hold a series of dialogues on the Nigerian economy with presidential candidates that will accentuate discussions on the roadmap towards an inclusive and prosperous Nigeria.
The private sector think-tank said the debate is part of its commitment to national development and principle to provide an economic foundation for democracy in Nigeria.
Nigeria is at a decisive point in its history and as it approach the 2023 polls, NESG said it was critical, like never before, to nudge Nigerians towards making informed voting choices.
“The challenge before us, therefore, is to ensure the evolution of a process towards a leadership with a broad knowledge of the issues and the political will to steer the ship of our great nation towards shared economic prosperity.
“We will actively seek independent direct engagements with the presidential candidates on critical economic policy reform issues and prescriptions, in the national interest,” NESG said in a statement that was issued by CEO, Mr. ‘Laoye Jaiyeola.
The presidential dialogue series is geared towards sensitising stakeholders and citizens of Nigeria on peaceful, informed and accountable democratic participation. It is expected to provide a unique platform and opportunity for presidential candidates to discuss their economic agenda in an environment of civil discourse.
The presidential dialogue on economic policy seeks to curate content that focuses on the state of the economy and addresses the concerns of the citizens before the 2023 presidential elections.
