Vice President Kashim Shettima Johannesburg, South Africa, for the G20 Leaders’ Summit.


The Vice President is scheduled to engage foreign leaders and development partners on issues relating to the economy, security, climate change, among others.

President Tinubu was earlier scheduled to be in South Africa, following an invitation from his counterpart and current President of the G20, South African leader Cyril Ramaphosa.


However,  President Tinubu had to cancel his departure and delegated Senator Shettima to represent him, as he remains in Nigeria to receive security briefings following the abduction of schoolgirls in Kebbi and the attack on worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku, Kwara State.


The meeting, scheduled to hold this Saturday 22nd  and Sunday 23rd November, 2025 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre. 

It features leaders from the world’s top 20 economies, as well as representatives from the European Union, the African Union, and key financial institutions.


Themed “Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability,” the two-day summit will afford participants, including Vice President Shettima, the opportunity to deliberate extensively on issues concerning the economy, financing for development and debt burden, climate change, and equitable food systems during three panel sessions.


Additionally, the Vice President is expected to hold bilateral meetings during the summit in furtherance of the Renewed Hope Agenda and to discuss regional and international peace, security, and development.
