In his address, Shettima emphasized that Nigeria’s future prosperity hinges on structured and intentional engagement with global markets. He highlighted the country’s recent economic strides, citing a 3.9% GDP growth in 2025—the fastest in over a decade—fueled largely by a resilient non-oil sector, which now contributes 96% of the national GDP. This performance, he noted, reflects Nigeria’s diversification efforts and readiness to play a larger role in global supply chains.
The Nigeria House will serve as a hub for high-level dialogues aimed at advancing both national and global economic priorities. Ahead of its inauguration, a Global Business Roundtable convened key stakeholders to discuss strategies for building resilient energy transition supply chains, aligning with Nigeria’s push for sustainable industrial and infrastructural development.
Shettima framed the initiative as a historic milestone, reinforcing Nigeria’s resolve to transition from a passive observer to an active architect of global economic policies. The move signals confidence in the nation’s potential to attract investment, foster innovation, and drive inclusive growth through collaborative frameworks.
