Nigeria is set to launch a bold national platform to drive economic transformation, foster strategic partnerships, and accelerate innovation. The New Nigeria Festival (TNNF) will make its debut at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja. With the theme “Great Ideas, Bold Execution,” the festival will convene influential leaders across government, business, technology, finance, entrepreneurship, academia, and the global diaspora to explore practical solutions to position Nigeria as a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2030. The event was first launched at the Institute of Directors Africa Group House, London (IoD), on Wednesday, 15th March 2026, at 116 Pall Mall, St. James’s, London SW1Y 5ED, United Kingdom.
The core objective of the festival is to promote enterprise development, accelerate innovation-driven growth, create jobs, boost foreign direct investment (FDI), and significantly catalyze Mr. President’s vision of Nigeria achieving a trillion-dollar economy by 2030, while emerging as Africa’s leading innovation hub.
More than a conference, The New Nigeria Festival is conceived as a high-level economic movement focused on bridging the gap between policy and implementation, innovation and investment, and leadership and measurable national impact. It is designed to be a catalyst for real outcomes, bringing together global innovators, enterprises, and institutional leaders to unlock market opportunities at scale.
