Meet our 2025 Speakers
The roles for Economic Development and sustainability are beyond the confine effort of a single trade association, individual or organization hence the clarion demand for a broad base multi-stakeholder conference
The Conference
The Beam
The beam of the theme is on Nigeria being the most populous country in Africa. Nigeria exerts a great influence in Africa due to its population size of about 200 million, and often referred to as the giant of Africa. The country like other developing countries is faced with several developmental, environmental and socio-economic challenges. The deteriorating economic environment is leaving millions of Nigerians in poverty. The economy is projected to grow by an average of 2.9% per year between 2023 and 2025, only slightly above the estimated population growth rate of 2.4%; this projection raises concerns. What if there were no organizations such as trade associations?
