Shaping the Future of Nigeria’s Economy through Thought Leadership and Global Collaboration
The Nigeria Initiative for Economic Development (NIED) stands at the forefront of Nigeria’s transformation story — a diaspora-led thought leadership platform dedicated to building bridges between policy, innovation, and investment.
At NIED, we believe that sustainable growth begins with strategic thinking and credible partnerships. We convene some of the most influential voices in governance, business, and development to generate actionable insights, shape forward-looking policies, and translate ideas into measurable impact.
Through research, investment summits, and cross-sector dialogues, NIED serves as a trusted convener and advisor for governments, investors, and the diaspora community. Our thought leadership extends beyond conversation — it creates frameworks that drive reform, unlock private capital, and enable enterprises to thrive.
From the Power-50 Nigeria–California Investment Summit to the Nigerian Leadership Roundtable and the NIED Think-Tank, our initiatives are guided by a singular vision: to make Nigeria a globally competitive economy powered by knowledge, innovation, and productive enterprise.
NIED Continues to Deliver Value by:
Bridging Global Expertise

Inspiring Ethical Leadership
Nurturing innovative and accountable leadership within public and private sectors to create a culture of integrity.
Accelerating Transformation
