NESG Radio

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 voices 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.

    International Day of Clean Energy: Accelerating the Clean Energy Transition: An Urgent Priority

    The International Day of Clean Energy serves as a global platform to emphasise the critical role of clean energy in combating climate change, fostering sustainable development, and improving energy access. As the world faces the dual challenges of environmental degradation and energy poverty, transitioning to clean and renewable energy sources has become a top priority. This year's observance comes at a pivotal time when technological advancements, policy initiatives, and grassroots movements are driving progress, yet significant barriers remain. In Nigeria, the clean energy landscape presents both opportunities and hurdles. While renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro hold immense potential, issues like inadequate infrastructure, limited financing options, and policy gaps often impede progress. Moreover, public awareness about the benefits of clean energy and its role in building a sustainable future remains relatively low. This conversation aims to highlight the importance of clean energy, discuss actionable solutions to existing challenges, and inspire listeners to participate in the global clean energy transition. By engaging experts, we hope to foster a meaningful dialogue that drives awareness and action.

    International Day of Education 2025 - AI and Education: Preserving Human Agency in a World of Automation

    The 2025 International Day of Education, under the theme “AI and Education: Preserving Human Agency in a World of Automation,” focuses on the intersection of education and technological advancement. This year’s observance highlights the transformative power of education in equipping individuals and communities with the tools to navigate, understand, and shape a rapidly evolving digital landscape dominated by artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. As AI-driven systems become increasingly integrated into daily life, questions arise about the balance between human agency and machine-driven decision-making. The theme encourages reflection on how education can preserve and redefine human intention and creativity in the face of technological acceleration. Education plays a critical role in fostering the skills and values necessary to adapt to these changes. Beyond technical expertise, it must also instill critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and adaptability, ensuring that technology serves humanity rather than diminishes it. This International Day of Education provides an opportunity to celebrate achievements in global education while advocating for the reforms needed to ensure education systems remain relevant and inclusive in the digital age. It calls for policymakers, educators, and communities to work together to create a future where education not only prepares individuals for an AI-driven world but also empowers them to maintain agency and humanity within it.
