Vice President Kashim Shettima has formally opened the Nigeria House in Davos as the 2026 World Economic Forum (WEF) gets underway in Switzerland.

The unveiling, which took place on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, marks the first time Nigeria is establishing a House in Davos, signalling a new phase in the country’s global economic engagement.

The Nigeria House is designed to serve as a strategic hub for engaging global investors and promoting priority sectors of the Nigerian economy. It will provide a platform for investment discussions, partnerships and policy engagements aimed at attracting foreign direct investment into the country.

Members of the Nigerian delegation, alongside foreign partners and other stakeholders, were present at the official opening of the facility.

Speaking on the initiative, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, said Nigeria is using the forum to showcase four major investment areas—solid minerals, sustainable agriculture, the creative industry and the digital economy—to position the country as an attractive destination for global capital.
