Frank Aigbogun, publisher and chief executive officer of BusinessDay Media Limited, said Nigeria has reached a critical juncture where recent macroeconomic reforms must now translate into jobs, thriving businesses, and higher living standards for citizens.
Speaking at the opening of the BusinessDay CEO Forum 2026 in Lagos, Aigbogun said while the country had made difficult but necessary policy adjustments over the past two years, stability alone was insufficient unless it delivered broad-based economic prosperity.
Themed “From Stability to Shared Prosperity,” this year’s forum brought together policymakers, regulators, investors, chief executives and business leaders to discuss Nigeria’s economic outlook and the next phase of reforms.
Aigbogun described the forum as a platform that, for more than a decade, has brought together those “who shape and direct the economy” to have candid conversations about Nigeria’s future.
“Each year we have tried to make this room less about ceremony and more about substance,” he said.
