Vice President Kashim Shettima has arrived in Switzerland to attend the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), scheduled to hold from January 19 to 23, 2026.

He arrived from Conakry, Guinea, where he represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the presidential inauguration of President Mamadi Doumbouya on Saturday.

On arrival, the Vice President was received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, the Minister of Trade and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, and officials of the Nigerian mission in Switzerland.

The 2026 WEF marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s global economic diplomacy with the official debut of “Nigeria House Davos.” For the first time, the Federal Government has established a dedicated sovereign pavilion on the Davos Promenade.

Shortly after their arrival, Minister Oduwole stated that Nigeria would make a strong presentation of investment opportunities at the launch of Nigeria House in Davos, highlighting President Tinubu’s efforts to revamp the economy.

“We will be showcasing four playbooks on President Tinubu’s initiatives in re-engineering the Nigerian economy. We will present our solid minerals sector, climate sustainability, agriculture, as well as creative and digital sectors to investors from across the globe,” she said.
