Shettima's Global Engagements Boost Nigeria's International Standing

Since the beginning of President Tinubu’s administration, Vice President Kashim Shettima has been extensively involved in international representation, attending major global summits and leading high-level delegations. Notable engagements include the UN Food Systems Summit in Rome, the BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, and the World Economic Forum in Davos.

His participation has resulted in substantial benefits for Nigeria, such as the $1.1 billion Nigeria–Brazil Green Imperative aimed at advancing agricultural mechanisation and technology transfer. Additionally, Shettima has facilitated $2 billion in Chinese investment MoUs covering various sectors, alongside another $4 billion investment aimed at enhancing Nigeria's productive sectors.

His international activities have also fostered partnerships in agricultural technology and regional security cooperation in the Gulf of Guinea. As of 2026, Shettima has attended summits in locations including Guinea-Conakry, Addis Ababa, and New Delhi, further solidifying Nigeria's diplomatic presence.
