The federal government has announced the establishment of the Nigeria House Davos ahead of the 56th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) scheduled to hold from January 19 to 23, in Davos, Switzerland.
In a statement on Friday, Abiodun Oladunjoye, director of
information and public relations at the State House, said the initiative would
mark Nigeria’s first official national house on the Davos Promenade.
Oladunjoye said the platform would be used to project
Nigeria’s economic reforms, investment readiness, institutional strength, and
cultural identity to a global audience.
According to the statement, Nigeria House Davos is the
result of a public–private partnership (PPP) framework involving relevant
ministries, including those of industry, trade and investment, finance, and
foreign affairs, in collaboration with the private sector.
“Nigeria House Davos is designed to strengthen foreign
direct investment (FDI) flows, deepen strategic partnerships, and advance
Nigeria’s global economic positioning in alignment with the administration’s
Renewed Hope Agenda,” the statement reads.
“Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd is the Lead
Coordinating and Executing Organisation, working in consortium with Lex-Con
Advisory Services Ltd and UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, alongside international
technical and delivery partners.
“This structure combines public-sector leadership with
private-sector execution expertise to ensure a professional, credible, and
impactful national representation.”
‘NIGERIA HOUSE WILL SERVE AS PLATFORM FOR INVESTMENT
MEETINGS’
Oladunjoye said the Nigeria House Davos will serve as a
convening platform for ministerial engagements, high-level roundtables, policy
dialogues, investment meetings, cultural diplomacy, and strategic bilateral
discussions.
He added that its programme will span five thematic days
focusing on solid minerals and mining value chains; trade infrastructure and
agriculture; climate investment, energy and environmental sustainability;
digital trade and technology; creative economy and cultural exports; and
cross-sector convergence, with finance, legislation, investment security and
investor assurance integrated across all discussions.
“For decades, leading nations and global corporations have
leveraged Davos Houses as instruments of soft power, economic diplomacy, and
global influence,” Oladunjoye said.
“With Nigeria House Davos, Nigeria now enters this league,
presenting its narrative from its own perspective, engaging global
decision-makers directly, and positioning itself as a serious reform-driven
economy open for partnership and investment.”
The presidency urged strategic participation by key public
institutions, the private sector, development finance institutions, and
international partners to ensure that Nigeria’s debut presence on the Davos
Promenade is unified, dignified, and impactful.
The statement said Nigeria House Davos reflects Nigeria’s
confidence, ambition, and readiness to engage the world, presenting Nigeria’s
narrative with clarity, credibility, and purpose.
