The Nigeria Summit 2013

Nigeria has a young and growing population, a wide range of natural resources and a government full of internationally renowned reformers – yet life for the average Nigerian is not improving. There’s no shortage of visions that see Nigeria transformed into a dynamic, competitive economy where entrepreneurialism and innovation thrives. But the real need is for action – at all levels.

Bringing together 180+ international business leaders, investors, policymakers and influential commentators, our flagship Nigeria Summit will focus on what is being done to execute the vision.

• H.E. Goodluck Jonathan, President, Federal Republic of Nigeria

• Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Nigeria

• Xan Smiley, Middle East and Africa Editor, The Economist

• Karel de Gucht, European Commissioner for Trade

• Valentine Sendanyoye Rugwabiza, Deputy Director-General, World Trade Organization
