Wilson Erumebor’s career journey began in 2008, where he served as a Research Analyst and Student Associate at ValueFronteira Limited, an economic research and consulting firm. At VF, he prepared monthly macroeconomic reports, industry reports, money and financial market updates and wrote articles on economic issues.
After that, Wilson moved to Agusto & Co., Nigeria’s top research and credit ratings company, where he built his Macroeconomic and Industry Analysis skills. At Agusto & Co., he conducted macroeconomic analysis and prepared detailed industry reports for clients such as commercial banks, pension industry players, financiers, etc.
From Agusto & Co., Wilson joined the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), a foremost private sector-led think tank committed to developing a competitive Nigerian economy. At the NESG, he serves as a senior economist and leads several research projects, including the annual NESG Macroeconomic Outlook, which sets the NESG’s advocacy agenda for the year.
