WIEG 2026 Summit Shifts to April 22-23 for Maximum Impact
Organisers of the World International Economic Group (WIEG) 2026 Investment Summit have rescheduled the event to April 22-23, 2026, at Four Points by Sheraton, Oniru, Victoria Island, Lagos, to boost institutional participation, stakeholder alignment, and investment outcomes amid Ramadan considerations.
A statement from the Summit secretariat attributed the shift to extensive consultations with high-level public and private sector players, including government institutions, development finance partners, industry regulators, sponsors, and sector leaders.
It emphasised the need for additional time post-Ramadan to enable deeper engagement, secure internal approvals, and align with senior executives’ and policy leaders’ calendars.
The rescheduling, described as a “strategic enhancement,” allows for substantive contributions from speakers, panelists, and deal partners while mobilising investment networks and sectoral ecosystems.
The secretariat expressed appreciation to stakeholders whose early commitments underscore the Summit’s credibility in building a transformative platform for Nigeria and Africa.
Unlike conventional conferences, the WIEG 2026 Summit targets high-impact deal-making for a Smart City project and key Nigerian economic sectors, ensuring top-level decision-makers deliver measurable results.
The new dates are expected to expand government-private sector representation, strengthen investor pipelines, boost global delegate turnout, foster policy-investment dialogues, and heighten partnership visibility.
