Fresh from a high-impact outing at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, Vice President Kashim Shettima briefed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Nigeria’s key engagements, outcomes and forward actions from the global economic summit—just moments before the President’s departure for a state visit to Türkiye.
The briefing, held at the State House, Abuja, focused on investor interactions, policy conversations and strategic commitments secured at Davos, where Nigeria advanced its economic reform narrative and positioned itself as a destination for long-term capital under the Renewed Hope Agenda. Vice President Shettima outlined emerging investment interests, reform milestones acknowledged by global stakeholders, and the coordination required to convert dialogues into tangible inflows.
According to officials, the update underscored continuity between Nigeria’s multilateral economic diplomacy at Davos and its bilateral engagement with Türkiye, with emphasis on trade expansion, industrial collaboration, infrastructure, energy, and security cooperation. The sequencing reflects a deliberate strategy to leverage global platforms to reinforce targeted state-to-state partnerships.
President Tinubu commended the Davos engagements and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to policy stability, speed and execution—signalling that outcomes from Davos would inform discussions in Ankara aimed at unlocking investments, technology transfer and market access.
The Davos-to-Türkiye handoff highlights a performance-driven approach to diplomacy, as Nigeria moves swiftly from global consensus-building to deal-making, aligning reforms with partnerships capable of delivering jobs, foreign exchange inflows and sustainable growth.
