Vice President Kashim Shettima has departed Abuja to participate in the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The week-long meeting, scheduled from January 15 to 19, will bring together global political, business, and cultural leaders to discuss and shape global, regional, and industry agendas.
During the forum, Mr. Shettima is set to co-chair the launch of the Private Sector Action Plan for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and engage in high-level discussions with key figures such as the Managing Director of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Makhtar Diop, and the Prime Minister of Vietnam, Pham Chinh.
In addition to these engagements, the vice president will chair a roundtable dialogue on Nigeria’s economic trajectory. A special session focused on building trust in the global energy transition program is also on his agenda.
Mr. Shettima’s media aide, Stanley Nkwocha, stated that the vice president is expected to return to Nigeria after the conclusion of the meeting. The World Economic Forum provides a platform for leaders to collaborate on crucial global issues, fostering dialogue and cooperation among diverse stakeholders.
