Nigeria’s economic transformation cannot be achieved by government alone.
The private sector cannot operate effectively without an enabling policy and institutional environment. Similarly, government programmes and economic interventions often require effective channels through which they can reach businesses and communities.
Trade and professional associations occupy a strategic position between these stakeholders. They understand the realities of their sectors. They know the challenges confronting their members. They possess extensive networks and can mobilize large communities of businesses and professionals.
Consequently, a stronger association ecosystem can contribute significantly to enterprise development; job creation; investment mobilisation;export development; national competitiveness and several others.
When trade associations become stronger, the Nigerian economy benefits.
CONiTA 2026 will examine how trade associations can transform their collective strength, membership, networks, knowledge, markets and institutional influence into measurable economic value for their members and meaningful contributions to Nigeria’s development.
(CONiTA) is therefore conceived as a national gathering that brings together the diverse ecosystem of trade, chambers of commerce, professional, business and membership-based associations to discuss issues affecting their development and their contribution to the Nigerian economy.
It provides a platform for: artisanal associations; professional associations;
chambers of commerce; manufacturers’ associations; business membership organizations; SMEs and enterprise groups; association executives and secretariat professionals; government institutions; corporate organizations;
academia; and other stakeholders in the association ecosystem.
