Vice President Kashim Shettima has arrived in Switzerland for the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum, WEF.

It was reported that the event is scheduled to be held from January 19 to 23, 2026.

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

The Vice-President received on arrival by the ministers of foreign affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, and trade and investment, Jumoke Oduwole, and officials of the Nigerian mission in Switzerland.

According to reports, the 2026 WEF marks a 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, Oduwole, while addressing journalists, said Nigeria would make a robust presentation of investment opportunities in the country at the launch of the Nigeria House in Davos which will focus on President Tinubu’s efforts in revamping the economy.
