  • World Health Day 2024 : My health, My right

    8 APR 2024 · The theme for World Health Day 2024 is 'My health, my right’. The WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All has found that at least 140 countries recognize health as a human right in their constitution. Yet countries are not passing and putting into practice laws to ensure their populations are entitled to access health services. Without health, a person is denied their right to be contributing members of society and to provide for their families. Right to Health is the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health.

  • Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan and viability of the carbon market

    20 MAR 2024 · Nigeria's northern deserts, central flooding, coastal pollution and erosion, and the ensuing socioeconomic fallout all hint at the severity and veracity of climate change. As a result, swift action is required to mitigate the effects of climate change. Simultaneously, with the population growing at an accelerated rate, more development is required to provide better living circumstances for millions more Nigerians which can be achieved through transition to clean, renewable and sustainable energy sources and the next several decades provide a rare chance to combine these two priorities—economic growth and climate action—for Nigeria to accomplish one of the first truly fair transformations in history in Africa's largest economy.

  • Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan: Pathways and investments to achieving Net zero

    14 MAR 2024 · With an estimated 340,000 jobs expected to be produced by 2030 and up to 840,000 jobs by 2060, Nigeria's net-zero route would result in considerable net job creation, with the power, cooking, and transportation sectors accounting for the majority of these jobs. In Nigeria's net-zero pathway, gas will be essential as a transition fuel, especially in the areas of cooking and power, considering that Nigeria's energy transition offers substantial investment prospects, including the creation and growth of solar energy, hydrogen, and electric car businesses.

The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) is Nigeria’s foremost private sector-led think-tank and policy advocacy institution.
At the NESG, our work in providing fact-based advocacy has allowed us to prioritize and use our voice to encourage different actors to come together to dialogue on critical socio-economic issues. Only through conversations, interventions, and innovation will we change the landscape in Nigeria and across Africa.
Nevertheless, only a well-informed and united people make a great nation. Millions of Nigeria’s vibrant and talented 200 million population, do not effectively speak, understand or write English. The ones that do may be saturated with misinformation in this current digital world.
The NESG Radio is a traditionally syndicated podcast that will effectively inform our people with curated localized content. Our weekly podcasts will help communicate critical information such as economic policies, ideas, health information, trends, and interventions to Nigerians.
