The Switzerland Edition of the Renewed Hope Global Tour, held on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026 in Zurich, was impressively delivered and widely acclaimed, attracting a high-powered audience of global investors, diplomats, development partners, Nigerians in the Diaspora, and policy leaders eager to engage with Nigeria’s renewed economic story.

Participants voiced strong confidence in the positive momentum of the Renewed Hope Administration led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. They praised decisive fiscal and monetary reforms now transforming Nigeria into a more transparent, stable, and attractive investment environment. Speakers and guests emphasised that Nigeria’s reform agenda is sending an unmistakable message: the country is ready for substantial business.

The Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, H.E. Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON, was represented by Dr. Tope Fasua, Special Adviser on Economic Matters to the President, who delivered a compelling commitment from the Presidency. Dr Fasua conveyed the Vice President’s assurance that the Tinubu Administration is dedicated to establishing a predictable, rules-based, and growth-focused economy that supports local and international investors.

The event included the signing of two strategic Memoranda of Understanding with international investors committing significant funding to Nigeria.

The first MoU was executed with CCS Global AG/RevAir Europe AG, a prominent renewable energy and power generation company, represented by Chief Executive Officer Dr Christian Urabl, MBA, to advance clean, sustainable power initiatives in Nigeria.

The second MoU was signed with the UN-backed WQU, represented by Dr. Gbems Disu, Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships, focused on youth-driven, technology-enabled, and future-ready education investments to empower Nigerian young people for the global economy.

Both investors applauded Nigeria’s reform trajectory and the clarity of President Tinubu’s policies. They praised the Renewed Hope agenda’s transparency and described the country as among Africa’s most promising investment destinations.

Earlier, Dr. Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reform, delivered an authoritative presentation on Nigeria’s updated investor-oriented tax and fiscal framework. He detailed how the reforms simplify compliance, boost transparency, and enhance competitiveness. Dr Oyedele addressed investor questions with assurance, further building trust.

The programme opened with remarks from Ambassador JK Adebola, Chairman of Renewed Hope Global, who delivered a dynamic “Nigeria is Ready” welcome message. Dr. Chris Onumonu then provided an in-depth security and stability briefing, reassuring participants about Nigeria’s improving security strategy and risk management capabilities.

Two high-level expert panels reinforced progress, reform, and opportunity under the current administration, highlighting Nigeria’s tangible economic and governance improvements.

Distinguished attendees included Dr Styven Simen (United Nations), David France, Russ Wilcox (Chair, United Nations), Yamina Mekadem, Mr Peter Spuhler (Stadler Rail AG), Siama Qadar, Mocha Brown, and other renowned figures from global finance, development, and industry.

The in-country Renewed Hope leadership, led by Hon. Malami Adekunle Kayode, Chairman of Renewed Hope Switzerland, and *Alhaja (Hon.) Aolat Sule* ensured seamless coordination, strategic engagement, and the effective delivery of all high-level meetings, investor sessions, and partnership outcomes throughout the Switzerland engagement.
