•WIEG Investment Summit 2026 Set to Drive Economic Growth in Nigeria
Lagos, Nigeria – The World Integrated Economic Growth Initiative (WIEG) is pleased to announce the WIEG Investment Summit 2026, scheduled for February 25th and 26th in Lagos, Nigeria. This private sector-led event aims to address pressing challenges facing MSMEs, cooperatives, and women-led businesses in Nigeria, including limited access to structured investment and capital.
Despite ongoing policies to support MSMEs, significant challenges remain, including gaps in investment readiness and compliance among enterprises, fragmented engagement between policy, investors, and market actors, and weak post-intervention tracking to measure outcomes. The Summit addresses these challenges by providing a platform that connects policy, private capital, and growth-ready enterprises.
The WIEG Investment Summit is designed to deliver practical results, featuring curated participation, structured engagement, and post-Summit continuity, ensuring measurable outcomes. Government participation is strictly institutional and advisory, with full discretion on representation and branding.
The Summit addresses key national and regional priorities, including job creation and enterprise growth, women’s economic empowerment, strengthened cooperative engagement, and improved investor confidence and ecosystem coordination. "This Summit is about creating a structured pathway from policy to capital to enterprise growth," said Mr. Bassey Essien, Spokesperson and Lead WIEG Representative.
WIEG works in collaboration with relevant institutions, private sector actors, and development partners, with transparent and structured engagement. The organization has joint protocols and bonded collaborations with over 5,000 organizations, companies, factories, and investors globally.
WIEG Nigeria Mandate is the Nigerian operational mandate of the World Integrated Economic Growth Initiative, duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) as WIEG Nigeria Mandate Limited – RC: 1797549.
WIEG Group operates under internationally recognized standards and multilateral frameworks, including registration with the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) and ISO certifications.
The Summit is expected to deliver tangible outcomes, including investment mobilization, trade facilitation, and community development. WIEG is committed to unlocking Nigeria’s economic potential, mobilizing global capital, empowering enterprises, and delivering sustainable development outcomes.
"We invite the press to join us in communicating this initiative accurately, highlighting the Summit’s objectives, structure, and expected outcomes," added Mr. Essien.
