The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has unveiled the 2021 NESG27 Essay Contest’s theme. The essay competition is accessible to all Nigerian undergraduates between the ages of 16 and 25, enrolled in any higher education institution in Nigeria or overseas. We are at a critical juncture in our country’s history, and what we do or don’t do now will have long-term ramifications for our future. The NESG is seeking applicants for the essay contest in order to appropriately express Nigeria’s priorities for establishing a foundation for ensuring our future.
This is a call for new solutions that emphasises the necessity for a coordinated response from all stakeholders (government at all levels, business, and civil society) in order to achieve success.
