Nigeria House Debuts at Davos
WEF 2026 marks a milestone for Nigeria with the official debut of ‘Nigeria House Davos’, a sovereign pavilion on the Davos Promenade. Developed through a public-private partnership, the facility will host ministerial engagements, investment roundtables, and cultural diplomacy throughout the week.
At the inauguration, Minister Oduwole said Nigeria will showcase investment opportunities across four key sectors: solid minerals, climate-smart agriculture, the creative industry, and the digital economy. She highlighted that the government will present playbooks detailing President Tinubu’s strategies to re-engineer the Nigerian economy.
Nigeria House aims to serve as a focal point for attracting international investment, highlighting the country’s reform efforts, and promoting collaboration in strategic sectors.
