Vice President Kashim Shettima has officially inaugurated the Nigeria House, located on the Davos Promenade, at the ongoing World Economic Forum meeting in Switzerland.
According to a post on Monday by the Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Communications (Office of the Vice President), Stanley Nwokocha, on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, the commissioning marks the first time the Nigerian government has established a dedicated sovereign pavilion at the World Economic Forum.
Nwokocha said the facility is a product of a public-private partnership aimed at centralising Nigeria’s investment narrative on the global stage.
“The Nigeria House will serve as the nerve centre for the Nigerian delegation throughout the 56th WEF, hosting high-level ministerial engagements, investment roundtables and cultural showcases,” the post stated.
Conceived as a central meeting point, the Nigeria House is expected to facilitate direct engagement with international investors while showcasing priority sectors of Nigeria’s economy.
The facility will host high-level investment discussions, foster strategic partnerships and support policy-driven engagements focused on boosting foreign direct investment into the country.
Speaking on the initiative, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, said Nigeria is highlighting four major investment areas at the forum: solid minerals, sustainable agriculture, the creative industry and the digital economy.
