Vice President Kashim Shettima has commissioned the Nigeria House on the Davos Promenade, Switzerland, marking a historic milestone for the country at the ongoing World Economic Forum (WEF).
The commissioning, which took place on Monday, represents the first time Nigeria has established a dedicated sovereign pavilion at the global economic gathering.
The development was disclosed in a post by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications (Office of the Vice President), Stanley Nwokocha, via his X (formerly Twitter) handle.
According to Nwokocha, the Nigeria House is the outcome of a public-private partnership designed to project and harmonise Nigeria’s investment story on the global stage.
He explained that the facility will function as the operational hub for Nigeria’s delegation throughout the 56th edition of the WEF.
“The Nigeria House will serve as the nerve centre for the Nigerian delegation, hosting high-level ministerial engagements, investment roundtables and cultural showcases,” the statement read.
Designed as a central engagement platform, the pavilion is expected to enhance direct interaction between Nigerian representatives and international investors, while promoting key sectors of the economy.

The Nigeria House will also host strategic investment discussions, encourage partnerships and support policy-focused engagements aimed at attracting increased foreign direct investment into Nigeria.
Speaking on the initiative, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, said Nigeria is using the forum to spotlight four priority investment sectors: solid minerals, sustainable agriculture, the creative industry and the digital economy.
The commissioning underscores Nigeria’s renewed push to strengthen its global economic presence and position itself as an attractive investment destination at the World Economic Forum.
