Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after a week-long diplomatic and economic mission to Guinea-Conakry and Switzerland. He represented President Bola Tinubu at the inauguration of Guinea’s President Mamadi Doumbouya and led Nigeria’s delegation to the 56th World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos.
The trip underscores Nigeria’s commitment to regional solidarity and economic repositioning under the Renewed Hope agenda. Shettima highlighted the importance of fostering West African cooperation and promoting Nigeria’s economic interests on the global stage.
A major highlight of the Davos visit was the commissioning of Nigeria House, Nigeria’s first sovereign pavilion on the Davos Promenade, designed as a permanent hub to showcase investment opportunities in solid minerals, agriculture, and the digital economy.
Shettima also participated in the Accra Reset Initiative, alongside former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and Finance Minister Wale Edun. The initiative promotes African industrialization driven by domestic capital and value chains rather than reliance on foreign aid.
