The Federal Government will on Monday convene the National Economic Council (NEC) Conference aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s economic coordination and accelerate inclusive growth across the 36 states of the federation.

The conference, which is expected to be chaired by the Vice President Kashim Shettima, with Governors of the 36 states and key national stakeholders in attendance, is also expected to generate direction for states, in line with the policy of the Federal government.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will serve as the Special Guest of Honour, while other top government officials, development partners, and private-sector leaders are expected to participate in the conference as the federal government works to deepen its reforms under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The conference is being convened by the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Sen. Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, with the theme, “Delivering Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development: The Renewed Hope National Development Plan.”

The gathering is expected to produce far-reaching policy direction for the states as they align with the Federal Government’s long-term economic agenda.

According to the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning and Secretary of the NEC, Dr. Deborah Oko Odo, the conference will address pressing macroeconomic priorities.

“The conference will focus on national economic issues aimed at encouraging economic growth and development across the country,” she said.

Vice President Kashim Shettima, who chairs the National Economic Council, will preside over the two-day summit, which will feature deliberations on fiscal coordination, investment mobilisation, and shared development strategies between the federal and state governments.
