The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, will participate as a Special Guest at the 2026 Annual Conference and Awards of the Finance and Business Online Publishers Association (FiBOP).
The two-day event, scheduled for October 17 and 18, 2026, will hold at Orchids Hotel, Lekki, Lagos, and bring together policymakers, regulators, business leaders, investors and media professionals to discuss strategies for unlocking Nigeria’s economic potential.
The conference is themed “Unlocking Nigeria’s Economic Potential: Taxation, Industry, Insurance, Fintech, Trade and Investment as Catalysts for Nigeria’s $1 Trillion Vision.”
Oyedele’s participation is expected to add to the policy discussions at the conference, particularly as Nigeria continues to pursue economic reforms aimed at improving revenue generation, strengthening the business environment and attracting investment.
His presence will also provide an opportunity for stakeholders to engage with issues surrounding fiscal policy, taxation, economic coordination and the role of the private sector in driving sustainable growth.
The conference is part of FiBOP’s efforts to promote informed public discourse on economic and financial issues while providing a platform for constructive engagement between government institutions, the private sector and the media.
Other prominent personalities expected at the event include Dr Muda Yusuf, Chief Executive Officer of the Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), who will chair the conference, and Alhaji (Dr) Umaru Kwairanga, Chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group), who is expected to attend as Special Guest.
Bola Odukale, Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA), has also been named Guest Speaker of the Occasion.
The programme is expected to feature discussions on taxation, industrial development, insurance, financial technology, trade and investment, with emphasis on their contributions to Nigeria’s long-term economic ambitions.
The FiBOP conference and awards will also recognise individuals and organisations whose contributions have supported the development of Nigeria’s financial services sector, business environment and economic reporting.
Through the gathering, the association aims to strengthen collaboration among public institutions, businesses and the media while encouraging policies and initiatives capable of expanding investment opportunities and supporting economic growth.
