Nigerian VP Shettima Attends Inauguration in Guinea-Conakry and World Economic Forum in Switzerland

Nigerian Vice President Kashim Shettima departs from Abuja to represent President Bola Tinubu at the inauguration of President Mamadi Doumbouya in Guinea-Conakry. Shettima's attendance at the 56th annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, aims to enhance regional leadership and economic partnerships.

Doumbouya, a former colonel who led a military coup in Guinea, won the recent election, marking the country's return to constitutional governance. The visit also seeks to deepen bilateral trade relations, particularly in Nigerian exports to Guinea.

Shettima's participation underscores Nigeria's leadership role within ECOWAS and support for Guinea's constitutional order.
