THUR FEB 19 2026-theGBJournal| Nigeria is hosting international delegates in Abuja as activities get underway for the 2026 Technical Meeting of the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-Four (G-24), placing the country at the centre of high level discussions on development finance, debt sustainability and growth across emerging economies.
At Wednesday evening’s welcome reception, Wale Edun, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, thanked participants for traveling from across the world and described the gathering as the start of an intensive technical engagement ahead of the G24 plenary.
The Minister said talks are taking place at a critical moment, as developing countries face tighter global financial conditions and shifting trade dynamics.
He stressed that outcomes from the meeting will help shape access to capital, public sector financing and investment flows, issues directly tied to Nigeria’s reform agenda, infrastructure delivery and job creation.
Hosting the meeting in Abuja reflects growing international confidence in Nigeria’s economic direction and its role in advancing a more resilient and inclusive global financial system.
