Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after spending a week on a diplomatic and economic mission in Guinea-Conakry and Switzerland.
He claimed that Nigeria has regained its leadership in global and regional policy discussions.
After leading Nigeria’s delegation to the WEF Annual Meeting in Davos on Saturday, the Vice President represented President Bola Tinubu at the inauguration of Guinea’s President, Mamadi Doumbouya, and the delegation’s delegation.
Under President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda,” Shettima emphasized that Nigeria’s recent diplomatic engagements reflect a renewed commitment to West African solidarity and economic revitalization.
His visit to Guinea-Conakry opened the door for bilateral cooperation in agriculture and manufacturing, confirming Nigeria’s leadership in ECOWAS.
Shettima inaugurated “Nigeria House Davos” at WEF 2026 under the leadership of the Nigerian delegation in Switzerland.
The Davos Promenade’s hub is intended to entice investment in agriculture, solid minerals, and the digital economy.
The Vice President cited agriculture as the foundation of national stability during a session on food security.
In order to advance the Accra Reset Initiative, an advocacy platform that promotes African industrialization fueled by domestic capital and regional value chains, he joined former president Olusegun Obasanjo, former vice president Yemi Osinbajo, former vice president Yemi Osinbajo, and minister of finance Wale Edun.
The Vice President cited a projected 4.4% GDP growth in 2026 and a decline in inflation of 12.94% as evidence to investors regarding Nigeria’s macroeconomic indicators.
He also made note of Nigeria’s imminent transition from a net exporter of refined petroleum products, supported by the Dangote Refinery, along with the nation’s growing digital talent exports.
