Advancing Nigeria Beyond Oil Through Agriculture, Policy, and Partnerships

A national convening and advocacy platform driving policy alignment, infrastructure development, and cross-sector partnerships to unlock agriculture as Nigeria’s engine of inclusive economic growth.

Introductory Overview

Nigeria’s future beyond oil depends on building productive, competitive, and inclusive agricultural value chains. NNDS exists to move the country away from subsistence and rent-seeking models toward enterprise-led growth, value addition, and local wealth creation.

Through evidence-based dialogue and coordinated action, NNDS brings together government, development institutions, the private sector, and communities to shape policies and investments that work—especially at the grassroots.

Our Focus Areas

Policy Coherence for Growth

NNDS champions alignment across agriculture, industry, and trade policies to create a stable and enabling environment for farmers, agro-processors, and market actors.

Infrastructure That Unlocks Value

We advocate for strategic investments in rural roads, power, storage, aggregation centers, and logistics—critical foundations for competitive agricultural markets.

From Ideas to Action

NNDS goes beyond dialogue. Through practical initiatives, we translate policy ideas into pilots, partnerships, and scalable solutions.

Flagship Initiatives

Vision Statement

NNDS is committed to a Nigeria where value is created locally, opportunity is widely shared, and farmers and agro-processors are recognized as economic drivers. We believe national growth must be built from the grassroots up — through productivity, enterprise, and inclusive markets.

This is the New Nigerian Dream.

Nigeria Beyond Oil: Building Structure, Creating Value, Securing the Future

The New Nigerian Dream Symposium (NNDS) is a national platform dedicated to rebuilding Nigeria’s economic and governance structures from the ground up. Rooted in values and driven by policy and markets, NNDS advances a shift from resource dependence to value creation—linking agriculture, enterprise, and institutions to unlock inclusive, bottom-up growth and long-term national prosperity.

“Nigeria’s greatest challenge is not the absence of resources, but the absence of structure. Sustainable prosperity begins with value creation, built from the ground up.”.
