VP Shettima jets out to Côte d’Ivoire for Energy Resources Exhibition

Vice President Kashim Shettima on Wednesday, Nov. 27, departed Abuja for Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, to attend the opening ceremony of the International Exhibition of Extractive and Energy Resources (SIREXE) 2024 conference.  

The SIREXE conference is an international event organised by the Government of Côte d’Ivoire. 

It focuses on “Policies and Strategy for the Sustainable Development of the Extractive and Energy Industries”. 

Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Office of The Vice President, in a statement on Wednesday said the conference would be held from November 27 to December 2, 2024, at the Abidjan Exhibition Centre. 

Nkwocha said the visit is on the invitation of Côte d’Ivoire’s Vice President Tiémoko Meyliet Koné. 

The Vice President is expected to return to Abuja later on Wednesday. 

This comes on the same day that President Bola Tinubu and his wife departed Abuja to France for a three-day state visit.
