——2026 Edition · Lagos, Nigeria

A trusted platform for thought leadership and strategic insight.

The BusinessDay CEO Forum has established itself as one of Nigeria’s most influential invitation-only gatherings — convening senior decision-makers from across the public and private sectors to engage in high-level dialogue on the economic forces shaping the country’s future.

Over the years, it has become a trusted platform for thought leadership, strategic insight, and practical solutions aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s economic competitiveness — and a catalyst for meaningful dialogue among Nigeria’s top C-suite executives and key decision-makers.

The 2026 edition focuses on the next phase of Nigeria’s economic transformation — examining how policy reforms, private sector innovation, technological advancement, and sub-national economic development can combine to unlock sustainable growth.
