Sub-Theme
Stimulating Economic Growth
By optimizing resource utilization, embracing innovative technologies, and enhancing skills development, Nigeria can bolster productivity, improve domestic and global competitiveness, and foster economic growth.
Sub-Theme
Mobilising Finance for Sustainable Development
Nigeria can leverage a compelling portfolio of competitive investment-grade projects and social investment programs to access and deploy financial resources in support of sustainable development initiatives.
Sub-Theme
Harnessing Human Capital
Knowledge, skills, abilities, and health of citizens, is a critical resource that drives productivity, innovation, and sustainable development. Nigeria faces significant barriers to effectively harnessing its human capital. These include limited access to quality education due to inadequate infrastructure, insufficient funding, and a shortage of qualified teachers.
Sub-Theme
Reforming Public Institutions
The state of Nigeria’s public institutions plays a crucial role in driving socioeconomic growth, but several challenges need to be addressed for effective reform. Widespread corruption remains a major obstacle, impeding the efficient functioning of public institutions and eroding public trust.
Sub-Theme
Promoting National Cohesion and Inclusion
Promoting a strong national vision, identity, and shared values that serve as the foundation for social contracts and compacts is essential for fostering a sense of belonging, ensuring equal rights and opportunities for all citizens, and addressing social divisions.
