It is being convened by the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, and will bring together state governors, key national stakeholders, development partners, and private-sector leaders.

The conference is themed “Delivering Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development: The Renewed Hope National Development Plan” and is expected to generate policy directions to help states align with the Federal Government’s long-term economic agenda under the Renewed Hope framework.

Discussions at the summit will include fiscal coordination, investment mobilisation, and strategies for shared development between the federal and state governments, as Nigeria seeks to deepen reforms and promote sustainable economic growth nationwide.
The conference is expected to reinforce collaboration across all levels of government and set the tone for coordinated implementation of economic policies in the years ahead.
