Debate it · Nigeria’s Economic Outlook Conference · Q4 2026
Read the module presentations and frame your questions before discussing Nigeria’s outlook with speakers and peers.
The Conference brings Nigeria’s places, people, products and portfolio into strategic discussion, examining how reforms and shocks change opportunities and vulnerabilities.
Why Nigeria and CountryWatch
Places · People · Products · Portfolio
CountryWatch follows Nigeria through four connected pillars: places, people, products and portfolio. It examines what the country has, who can put those strengths to work, what it produces and what its assets could become worth when productively deployed.
Across 36 states and the FCT, CountryWatch examines 46 sectors within four clusters—Industrial, Infrastructure, Commercial and Human Capital—and follows the implications for companies and citizens. Goods, ideas, talent and money connect this national picture to the world.
