Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after a week-long diplomatic and economic mission to Guinea-Conakry and Switzerland.
Shettima arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on Saturday after representing President Bola Tinubu at the inauguration of Guinea’s President, Mamadi Doumbouya.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Vice President also led Nigeria’s delegation to the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), held in Davos, Switzerland.
According to Shettima, the engagements underscored Nigeria’s renewed commitment to regional solidarity in West Africa and its resolve to reposition the nation’s economy in line with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda.
A major highlight of Nigeria’s participation at the WEF 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 to showcase opportunities in solid minerals, agriculture and the digital economy.
NAN further reports that during the Davos meetings, Shettima joined former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the Minister of Finance, Mr Wale Edun, to advance the Accra Reset Initiative.
The initiative promotes African industrialisation driven by domestic capital and regional value chains rather than reliance on foreign aid. (NAN)
