The Summit is a yearly gathering of high-level public and private sector leaders in Abuja, the nation’s capital, for dialogue on Nigeria’s economic management.

It is the first practical expression of the Triple-Helix model in the country, coming after the signing of an MoU between the National Universities Commission (NUC) (for academia) and the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) (for industry), and the interactive session and retreat which held thereafter.

Through the National Assembly Business Environment Roundtable (NASSBER), the Partnership for Inclusive Agricultural Transformation in Africa (PIATA), together with AGRA, the Rockefeller Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and USAID, the NESG has been collaborating with the Federal ministry of health and other relevant ministries and agencies of government to support the enaction of legislation that will support and enhance food safety and security for Nigeria.

This collaboration established a platform for the private sector to support the legislature in its drafting, deliberations, discussions, and review of laws that will improve Nigeria’s business environment.

It is expected that through this supportive work, and resulting legislation, Nigeria’s economy will achieve inclusive growth and sustainability, create jobs and generally cater to the wellbeing of Nigerians.

The radio aims at extending research-based advocacy and impactful policy-making to all Nigerians, including the urban technology inclined audiences, as well as rural dwellers.

The PIC is an initiative of the Nigeria Economic Summit Group (NESG) and is supported by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA), with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF).
