Vice President joins global leaders in Addis Ababa to advance sustainable agriculture and resilient food systems across Africa.
Vice President Kashim Shettima has arrived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to represent Nigeria at the Second United Nations Food Systems Summit, a high-level global event focused on tackling food insecurity and transforming agricultural systems worldwide. The summit, which runs from July 27 to 29, brings together world leaders, policymakers, and experts to accelerate progress on resilient, inclusive, and climate-smart food systems.
Shettima, who departed Abuja on Sunday, announced his participation via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, expressing Nigeria’s commitment to global cooperation on food security and sustainable agriculture.
At the summit, the Vice President is expected to take part in key sessions addressing the advancement of Africa’s coffee value chain and the promotion of sustainable agricultural practices. He will also engage in ministerial roundtables, field visits, and networking events showcasing real-life examples of successful food systems transformation.
Further engagements on Shettima’s agenda include strategic meetings focused on public finance, trade, and responsible investment—areas deemed crucial for achieving long-term reform and food resilience across the continent.
The 2025 summit marks a follow-up to the inaugural edition held in 2021, aiming to review progress and scale up commitments made toward global food systems reform.
