Vice President Kashim Shettima has left Abuja for Guinea-Conakry for the inauguration of President Mamadi Doumbouya

 

 

His media aide, Stanley Nkwocha, made this known in a statement on Friday, disclosing that Shettima was billed to attend the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, after his participation in the presidential inauguration in Guinea-Conakry,

 

This is coming after President Doumbouya’s election victory. The ceremony is scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 17, at the GLC Stadium, Nongo, Conakry.

 

 

According to the statement, Shettima’s attendance at the inauguration of President-elect Doumbouya was a strategic move for regional leadership, economic partnership, and global economic integration under President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda.

 

“It is part of Nigeria’s leadership role within ECOWAS, which includes supporting Guinea’s return to constitutional order, following a four-year transition.

 

 

“Beyond diplomatic solidarity, the visit aims to deepen bilateral trade, which recently saw Nigerian exports to Guinea, particularly manufactured goods and agricultural products, increasing to $3.29 million,” the statement noted.
