Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja following a week-long diplomatic and economic tour of Guinea-Conakry and Switzerland.
Shettima arrived at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on Saturday after representing President Bola Tinubu at the inauguration of Guinea’s President, Mamadi Doumbouya.
The vice president also led Nigeria’s delegation to the 56th World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos, highlighting the country’s renewed commitment to regional solidarity in West Africa and its determination to reposition the national economy under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda.
A key highlight of Shettima’s visit to Davos was the commissioning of Nigeria House, the country’s first-ever sovereign pavilion on the Davos Promenade.
The pavilion is designed as a permanent investment hub, showcasing opportunities in solid minerals, agriculture, and the digital economy.
In addition, Shettima joined former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and Minister of Finance Wale Edun to advance the Accra Reset Initiative—a forum advocating African industrialisation driven by domestic capital and value chains, rather than reliance on foreign aid.
