As Nigeria enters 2026, its economy stands at a critical inflection point, defined by ongoing reforms, macroeconomic recalibration, and renewed investor optimism. According to the World Bank (October 2025), Nigeria’s economy expanded by 3.9% year-on-year in the first half of 2025, up from 3.5% the previous year, driven by growth in services, trade, and telecommunications.

However, challenges persist: high inflation, exchange rates, and energy constraints continue to test business resilience. Against this backdrop, the Nigeria Economic Breakfast Meeting (NEBM) returns in 2026 as the definitive business breakfast platform where CEOs, investors, policymakers, and development partners gather to set the tone for the business year, discussing Nigeria’s reform trajectory, investment outlook, and sectoral opportunities.

NEBM 2026 will serve as a one-stop engagement for all sectors — energy, manufacturing, finance, agriculture, trade, real estate, digital, and infrastructure — offering participants insight, connection, and collaboration opportunities to navigate and shape Nigeria’s 2026 business environment.

Beyond the discussions, the event provides an opportunity for cross-industry networking opportunities as week to bring together the most important players working across various sectors of the Nigerian economy.

This panel brings together senior executives, policymakers and investors from multiple sectors to explore how Nigeria’s current reform agenda is creating business opportunities, and what it takes for companies across multiple industries to engage effectively. Panelists will discuss investment climate shifts, regulatory timelines, sectoral opportunities and business readiness.

  • Regulatory Reform & Business Enablement: How ongoing economic reforms are creating a more level playing field, and what business leaders must do to align.
  • Capital & Investment Flows: What kinds of capital (equity, debt, private equity, infrastructure finance) are flowing into Nigeria, across sectors, and how businesses can position themselves to attract and deploy it.
  • Sectoral Opportunity Mapping: Identifying high-potential sectors across the economy (e.g., trade & logistics, manufacturing, digital services, agri-value chains, real estate) and how businesses can pivot or scale.
  • Infrastructure & Enablers of Growth: How infrastructure bottlenecks (power, transport, digital connectivity, logistics) still impede across-sector business growth, and what solutions/partnerships firms can engage now.
  • Risk, Resilience & Operational Readiness: With macro-risks (inflation, and policy uncertainty) still present, how firms across sectors can build resilience.
