Nigeria’s journey toward becoming a $1 trillion economy will take center stage at the Finance and Business Online Publishers (FiBOP) National Annual Conference 2025, where the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, will deliver the keynote address.
The two-day event, scheduled for October 18–19, 2025, at Orchid Hotels, Lekki, Lagos, will focus on the theme: “Achieving $1 Trillion Economy: Leveraging Technology Innovations, Tax Reforms, and Opportunities in Renewable Energy, Agriculture, and Financial Services.”
The FiBOP 2025 Conference is designed to bring together policymakers, business leaders, technocrats, academics, and captains of industry to chart actionable strategies for transforming Nigeria’s economy. Discussions will emphasize diversification from oil, adoption of technology, innovation, renewable energy, agriculture, insurance, and services.
Organizers have positioned the conference as a key driver of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to deliver sustainable economic growth, wealth creation, and improved living conditions for Nigerians.
The conference has already secured strong backing from leading organizations, 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 institutions are expected to play pivotal roles in financing and accelerating Nigeria’s march toward the $1 trillion GDP target by 2030.
Highlighting his outlook, Minister Wale Edun stressed that sustainable economic transformation depends 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,” Edun said.
The President of FiBOP, Mr. Charles Onwuatogwu, called on more organizations to partner with the association in driving economic reforms and wealth creation. He assured potential sponsors of broad media exposure through interviews, press coverage, and publicity campaigns tied to the conference.
FiBOP, a Corporate Affairs Commission–registered body of seasoned online publishers and editors, has built a reputation for promoting balanced reporting on economic activities and development issues in Nigeria and Africa. Its annual conference provides a strategic platform for national dialogue on inclusive growth, innovation, and prosperity.
Organizers remain optimistic that with continued collaboration from government, private sector, and global partners, Nigeria can achieve the $1 trillion GDP milestone by 2030. The FiBOP 2025 Conference is expected to produce actionable strategies that will help reposition the economy, attract investments, and secure prosperity for millions of Nigerians.
