Vice President Kashim Shettima has arrived at the Congress Centre in Jakobshorn for the economic forum on African investment opportunities at the 2024 World Economic Forum (WEF).
Naija News reported that Senator Shettima left Nigeria for Davos, in Switzerland for the 2024 World Economic Forum (WEF), on Sunday.
The forum, titled “A Roadmap to Co-create Investment Opportunities for Africa’s Frontier Markets,” aims to highlight investment prospects in Nigeria and across Africa.
The agenda includes announcing the Humanitarian and Resilience Investing (HRI) Roadmap for Africa, exploring investment-ready sectors and strategies, and fostering partnerships between public and private sectors.
The forum, organized by the African Development Bank (AfDB) in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, is part of broader efforts to increase capital flow into Africa’s frontier markets and develop solutions for a prosperous, inclusive, and resilient continent.
According to his spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha, he would also attend a dinner for heads of state, government and international organizations, as well as Annual Meeting 2025 Crystal Awardees, the International Business Council and Strategic Partners slated for Kurpark Village, Eiger.
Senator Shettima would also co-chair a forum on ‘Turning Digital Trade into a Catalyst for Growth in Africa’ slated for the Pischa Congress Centre.
The session would provide a dynamic platform for forward-thinking dialogue on digital trade and the crucial role of the private sector in advancing the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Digital Trade Protocol adopted by the AU heads of state/government.
Shettima would attend, as a panelist, a Stakeholder Dialogue entitled, ‘Global Risks 2025’. The Global Risks Report highlights an increasingly volatile global landscape, marked by accelerating geopolitical, technological and environmental challenges. The event is slated for the Aspen 2 Congress Centre in Davos.
