Vice President Shettima attends UN Food Systems Summit.
Vice President Kashim Shettima is currently in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to represent Nigeria at the 2nd United Nations Food Systems Summit which began on Sunday, July 27 and will end on Tuesday, July 29.
The summit, which aims to advance the transformation of food systems globally and bolster Nigeria's food security drive, will feature high-level events, roundtables, and meetings, including a ministerial roundtable on public finance, trade, and responsible investment.
Upon arrival at the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport on Sunday, Shettima was received by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Temesgen Tiruneh, the Chargé d’Affaires of the Nigerian Embassy in Ethiopia, Nasir Aminu, and other top officials of the embassy.
Shettima is expected to discuss ways to focus on positioning Nigeria as a leader in African food systems reform, leveraging international partnerships, and advancing a private sector-led model for continental food transformation.
He would also participate in other events on the sidelines of the summit designed to spotlight real-world examples of food systems transformation, promote knowledge exchange and partnership.
The summit will bring together global leaders to reflect on progress made since the inaugural 2021 UN Food Systems Summit and accelerate commitments towards building resilient, inclusive, and sustainable food systems.
