Nigeria’s drive to achieve a $1 trillion economy will top the agenda at the Finance and Business Online Publishers (FiBOP) National Annual Conference 2025, where the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, is billed to deliver the keynote address.
The two-day event, scheduled for 18–19 October at Orchid Hotels, Lekki, Lagos, will be held under the theme “Achieving $1 Trillion Economy: Leveraging Technology Innovations, Tax Reforms, and Opportunities in Renewable Energy, Agriculture, and Financial Services.”
According to the organisers, the conference will bring together policymakers, business leaders, technocrats, academics and industry captains to design practical strategies for transforming Nigeria’s economy. Discussions will focus on economic diversification, technology adoption, renewable energy, agriculture, insurance and services.
They said the event aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises sustainable growth, wealth creation and improved living standards for Nigerians.
FiBOP 2025 already enjoys strong backing from leading institutions including the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Polaris Bank, Zenith Bank, Fidelity Bank, Nestlé Nigeria Plc, emPLE Insurance Limited and Universal Insurance.
These organisations are expected to play key roles in financing and accelerating the journey to the $1 trillion GDP target by 2030.
Minister Edun stressed that Nigeria’s economic transformation hinges on strong domestic savings and institutional trust. “A trusted and stable financial system, anchored by strong institutions, is essential to lifting millions out of poverty and driving Nigeria’s transition to a $1 trillion economy,” he said.
FiBOP President Charles Onwuatogwu urged more organisations to partner with the association to drive economic reforms and wealth creation, assuring them of broad media exposure through interviews, press coverage and publicity campaigns.
FiBOP — a Corporate Affairs Commission–registered body of online publishers and editors — has earned a reputation for promoting balanced reporting on Nigeria’s economy and development issues.
Its annual conference provides a strategic platform for national dialogue on inclusive growth, innovation and prosperity.
Organisers remain optimistic that continued collaboration among government, private sector and global partners can deliver the $1 trillion GDP milestone by 2030.
They say FiBOP 2025 is expected to produce actionable strategies to attract investment and secure a more prosperous future for millions of Nigerians.
