In a statement issued on Friday by the Director of Information and Public Relations at the State House, Abiodun Oladunjoye, the Presidency described the project as a major diplomatic and economic milestone.
According to the statement, Nigeria House Davos is designed to present a coherent national narrative focused on economic transformation, institutional capacity and cultural identity.
The Federal Government said the platform would be used to attract foreign direct investment, strengthen strategic alliances and enhance Nigeria’s international economic standing in line with the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda. It added that the initiative signals Nigeria’s readiness to compete more assertively on the global investment stage.
Nigeria House Davos is being delivered through a Public–Private Partnership arrangement involving key ministries, including Industry, Trade and Investment; Finance; and Foreign Affairs, working closely with private sector stakeholders.
Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd is leading the coordination and execution, in collaboration with Lex-Con Advisory Services Ltd, UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd and international partners.
According to the Presidency, the House will function as a high-level engagement hub, hosting ministerial meetings, policy dialogues, investment sessions, cultural diplomacy events and bilateral discussions throughout the WEF week.
Activities at the venue will be organised around thematic focus areas such as solid minerals and mining value chains, trade and agricultural infrastructure, climate and energy investment, digital trade and technology, creative industries and cultural exports, as well as cross-sector collaboration.
Financial policy, legislation, investment security and investor confidence are expected to feature across all sessions.
The statement noted that many leading countries and multinational corporations have long used national houses at Davos as tools of economic diplomacy and soft power. With the introduction of Nigeria House Davos, the country aims to directly engage global decision-makers while controlling its own narrative.
The Presidency also called on public institutions, private sector players, development finance organisations and international partners to actively participate, stressing that a unified presence would ensure a strong and credible debut for Nigeria on the Davos Promenade.
It added that the initiative reflects Nigeria’s growing confidence and determination to position itself as a reform-driven economy open to global partnerships and long-term investment.
