Summits have never succeeded in solving the problems they start out to address. In my 14 years as staff of Vanguard Newspaper, and as the Economist-In-Residence, I attended more summits than I can possibly count. My archives are full of all the junk collected from those jamborees. The most famous of them remains the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, NESG; founded by late Chief Ernest Shonekan; the Head of the Interim National Government, HING. Working under President Babangida, Shonekan inaugurated the NESG in 1992. NESG started off, as a private sector initiative, with enthusiasm to achieve the exalted aim of making Nigeria a top 20 economy by 2020.
Buhari mourns Shonekan, says Nigeria owes a great debt to him
