Vice President Kashim Shettima has departed Abuja for a two-day visit to Sweden, where he will engage in bilateral talks with Swedish government officials and private sector stakeholders. His visit follows President Bola Tinubu's recent two-week trip to the UK and France. Shettima’s agenda includes meetings with Crown Princess Victoria, the Swedish Prime Minister, and representatives of Norrsken, a venture capital impact investor. Norrsken recently launched a $205 million tech investment fund for Africa, with 40% expected to be allocated to Nigerian entrepreneurs. Shettima aims to strengthen Nigeria-Sweden relations in ICT, innovation, agriculture, and other sectors. He will return on Saturday.
