𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐀 𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐂 𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐘 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 Today at the 32nd Nigerian Economic Summit (#NES32), the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, presented the proposed Nigeria Economic Policy Framework for public consultation. Policy uncertainty is an invisible tax on enterprise. Unlike most taxes, it raises no revenue. It only destroys value and discourages investment. The Framework is not a development plan, a list of projects or the manifesto of any administration. It is a national economic doctrine that sets out: • how Nigeria makes economic decisions; • the principles that guide them; and • how we measure real progress. Two proposals stand out: • A Policy Impact Statement for every major economic intervention: what problem it solves, the evidence behind it, who benefits, who bears the cost, and when it will end. • An annual National Economic Scorecard, published on or before Independence Day, showing whether real wages are rising, productive jobs are growing and poverty is falling. This is a consultation draft, not approved government policy, and it must be shaped by national consensus. The consultation is open until 27 November 2026, at finance.gov.ng/resource-nige… We invite businesses, professionals, academics, civil society and every Nigerian to contribute, critique it rigorously and help turn it into an enduring national accord. #NES32 #NigeriaEconomicPolicyFramework
