The Institute for Economic Growth and Prosperity (IEGP) is a non-political organisation created to proactively develop policies and strategies for the advancement of the economy of Nigeria. IEGP is focused on bringing together Nigerian professionals, from various sectors, living in the UK and abroad to help create an effective and sustainable development path for Nigeria.
