The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has said it is set to hold a series of dialogue on the Nigerian economy with the presidential candidates in this year's general election.

Jaiyeola said the idea was to accentuate discussions on the roadmap towards an inclusive and prosperous Nigeria.

'Nigeria is at a decisive point in its history and as we count down to the 2023 polls, it is critical, like never before, to nudge Nigerians towards making informed voting choices.

'The challenge before us, therefore, is to ensure the evolution of a process towards a leadership with a broad knowledge of the issues and the political will to steer the ship of our great nation towards shared economic prosperity.
