A high-level executive consultation under the NigeriaWorks 2030 Initiative is scheduled to take place on Thursday, July 17, 2025, in Abuja.

The event, organised by Vivacity Development in partnership with the SAM Empowerment Foundation, will bring together selected stakeholders to discuss the future of work and workforce transformation in Nigeria.

The closed-door, invitation-only session is expected to host policymakers, private sector leaders, development practitioners, and innovation experts. Discussions will focus on strategic approaches to employment, digital skills, inclusive job creation, and economic resilience.

“We stand at the crossroads of a rapidly evolving global employment landscape,” said Engr. Oluwakemi Ann-Melody Areola, CEO of Vivacity Development. “This Executive Consultation is not just a meeting; it is a catalytic platform for influencing policies, shaping investments, and fostering collaborations that will drive Nigeria’s transition into a future-ready economy.”

The NigeriaWorks 2030 Initiative aims to tackle systemic challenges while unlocking new opportunities in digital transformation, green economy transitions, inclusive job creation, and youth-centred innovation. Through this multi-stakeholder consultation, the Initiative seeks to lay the groundwork for sustainable solutions that will elevate Nigeria’s global competitiveness by the end of the decade.

The event will feature a blend of keynote addresses, technical panels, and interactive sessions designed to yield actionable insights and ignite long-term partnerships. Attendees will engage directly in the development of a strategic workforce roadmap that reflects both national priorities and global trends.
Participation is strictly by invitation. Confirmed guests will receive detailed logistics upon RSVP.

The session is scheduled to run from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the prestigious Abuja Continental Hotel.
