The Vice President of Nigeria, Senator Kashim Shettima, on Monday, briefed President Bola Tinubu on his participation at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Naija News reports that Shettima had represented Tinubu at the world event.
According to presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the Vice President briefed Tinubu moments before the President departed for a state visit to Turkiye.
Recall that Shettima led Nigeria’s delegation to the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum, marking another major step in the country’s global economic engagement under the Bola Tinubu administration.
Naija News reports that the World Economic Forum held from January 19 to 23, 2026, and brought together world leaders, top policymakers, captains of industry and global investors to discuss pressing economic and technological issues.
The 2026 World Economic Forum marks a major milestone for Nigeria’s economic diplomacy with the official debut of “Nigeria House Davos.”
For the first time, the Federal Government established a dedicated sovereign pavilion on the Davos Promenade, positioning Nigeria prominently at the global economic gathering.
The facility, which is the outcome of a Public-Private Partnership arrangement, served as a permanent hub for high-level ministerial engagements, investment roundtables and cultural diplomacy throughout the week-long event.
Officials said the Nigeria House is designed to provide a focused platform for showcasing Nigeria’s reform agenda and investment potential to global decision-makers.
During the forum, Vice President Shettima presented Nigeria’s 2026 economic outlook to some of the world’s most influential political and business leaders.
