The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has partnered with News Central Television to boost media coverage and public engagement ahead of the Nigerian Economic Summit 2025 scheduled for October in Abuja.
The 2025 summit is expected to address pressing issues such as macroeconomic stabilisation, competitiveness, and structural reform. NESG’s CEO, Tayo Aduloju, said that partnerships with credible media institutions are crucial for ensuring that the summit’s evidence-based policy discussions resonate beyond government and private boardrooms.
“We see media as a strategic partner in engaging citizens and creating transparency around economic reform,” Aduloju noted, adding that regional engagement across West Africa would also feature in the summit’s broader agenda.
The meeting between fund members of the NESG board and the station’s leadership highlighted the increasing role of media platforms in shaping economic narratives and influencing policy engagement.
News Central’s Managing Director, Kayode Akintemi, described the collaboration as timely, stressing that the media has a duty to facilitate understanding and accountability in national economic planning. “We are positioned to bring these conversations to the people, not just as broadcasters but as part of the ecosystem influencing public perception,” he said.
Further highlighting the importance of the Summit, Akintemi said that it will bring key policymakers, business leaders, and civil society to chart pathways for sustainable economic growth and stability. He added that the summit’s insights and outcomes will reach all Nigerians, empowering citizens with knowledge and encouraging collaborative action.
