Vice President Kashim Shettima has arrived in Davos, Switzerland, to lead Nigeria’s delegation at the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF). He was received by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Yussuf Tuggar, and Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, along with officials from the Nigerian mission in Switzerland.
The Vice President’s visit marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s global economic diplomacy, with the launch of “Nigeria House Davos”, the country’s first sovereign pavilion on the Davos Promenade. This facility will serve as a hub for high-level ministerial engagements, investment roundtables, and cultural diplomacy throughout the week.
Shettima will present Nigeria’s 2026 economic outlook and participate in key plenary sessions focusing on Artificial Intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology. He will also hold bilateral meetings with heads of state, corporate executives, and international development finance institutions to strengthen partnerships aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
