Vice President Kashim Shetima has arrived in the alpine town of Davos, Switzerland, to lead Nigeria’s delegation to the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), scheduled to hold from January 19 to 23, 2026.
The Vice President arrived in Davos from Conakry, Guinea, where he represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the presidential inauguration of President Mamadi Doumbouya on Saturday.
Upon arrival in Switzerland, Shetima was received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar; the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole; and senior officials of the Nigerian Mission in Switzerland.
Nigeria’s participation at this year’s WEF is expected to focus on strengthening international partnerships, attracting foreign direct investment, and advancing discussions on economic reforms, trade, climate action, and sustainable development, in line with the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting brings together global leaders from government, business, and civil society to deliberate on pressing global economic and geopolitical issues and to shape collaborative solutions for shared prosperity.
