Abuja — Vice President Kashim Shettima has left Abuja to represent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the inauguration of Guinea-Conakry’s President-elect, Mamadi Doumbouya, before proceeding to Davos, Switzerland, for the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF).

According to a statement from the Office of the Vice President, Shettima will attend the presidential inauguration on Saturday, January 17, at the GLC Stadium in Nongo, Conakry, following President Doumbouya’s election victory.

The Vice President’s participation is described as a strategic engagement under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda, aimed at strengthening regional leadership, deepening economic partnerships, and advancing global economic integration.

Nigeria’s presence at the ceremony also highlights the country’s leadership within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), particularly in supporting Guinea’s return to constitutional order after a four-year political transition.
