Ahead of the 56th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, the Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the establishment of ‘Nigeria House Davos’, the country’s first official national house on the Davos Promenade. The initiative aims to promote Nigeria’s economic reforms, investment readiness, institutional strength, and cultural identity to a global audience.
In a recent statement, Mr. Abiodun Oladunjoye, Director of Information and Public Relations at the State House, explained that Nigeria House Davos will serve as a platform for ministerial engagements, high-level roundtables, policy dialogues, investment meetings, cultural diplomacy, and strategic bilateral discussions. The 2026 WEF gathering is scheduled to hold from January 19 to 23.
“Nigeria House Davos is designed to strengthen foreign direct investment flows, deepen strategic partnerships, and advance Nigeria’s global economic positioning in alignment with the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda,” Mr. Oladunjoye said.
The initiative is being implemented through a public–private partnership (PPP) framework involving relevant ministries—including Industry, Trade and Investment; Finance; and Foreign Affairs—in collaboration with the private sector. Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd serves as the lead coordinating and executing organisation, working in consortium with Lex-Con Advisory Services Ltd, UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, and international technical and delivery partners. This structure, the statement noted, combines public-sector leadership with private-sector execution expertise to ensure a professional and impactful national representation.
Nigeria House Davos will run a five-day programme structured around thematic priorities. These include 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. Finance, legislation, investment security, and investor assurance will be 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,” Mr. 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 has called for strategic participation by public institutions, private sector actors, development finance institutions, and international partners to ensure Nigeria’s debut presence is unified, dignified, and impactful.
Nigeria House Davos reflects the country’s ambition and readiness to engage the world, offering a platform to communicate Nigeria’s narrative with clarity, credibility, and purpose, while attracting investment and forging strategic global partnerships.
