Vice President Kashim Shettima is now in Sweden on a two-day working visit.

The objective of the visit is to boost trade and bilateral relations between Nigeria and Sweden.

A statement by Shettima’s spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha, says the Vice President is accompanied by the Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang; the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar; and some heads of government agencies and parastatals.

“The visit, which is at the behest of President Bola Tinubu, will see the Vice President engage in high-level talks with key government officials. He is also slated to meet with Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and the Swedish Prime Minister.

“Targeted areas of strengthened collaboration between Nigeria and Sweden that will be pursued by the Vice President include ICT, digitalisation, education, sustainable transport, agriculture, and mining,”says the statement.

Shettima is expected to return to Nigeria on Saturday.
