The World Economic Forum is currently going on in Davos, Switzerland.

According to wikipedia, the WEF brings together top business leaders, international political leaders, selected intellectuals, and journalists to discuss the most pressing issues facing the world. So the WEF is an important body whose decisions affect world economic outlook significantly.

So I feel Nigeria needed to be there especially now that our economic fortunes are tumbling.

This is what the forum's website says about this year's participation:
"It might come as a surprise to some but the
largest group in Davos is non-business
participants. Approximately 900 leaders from
civil society, the public sector and academia
have travelled to the Magic Mountain,
including 45 top scientists and 20 Nobel
laureates. More than 40 heads of state and
government are coming to the Annual Meeting
– a new record – including newly elected
Justin Trudeau of Canada and Mauricio Macri
of Argentina, as well as recently re-elected
Alpha Condé from Guinea and Ranil
Wickremesinghe from Sri Lanka. Around 300
ministers are joining to discuss global
challenges ranging from health and climate
change to the future of jobs."

About 40 heads of state are at the meeting. Those who couldnt make, like the US sent representatives. South Africa is having a strong showing at the summit. Even Guinea is there. Why is Nigeria not represented.

Tony Elumelu is there in his individual capacity. Even Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, much maligned by this administration, is there but the current finance minister is not.

I don't know how the participants are chosen. If it is by invitation why was Nigeria not invited? If it is by choice, is it that our government does not consider it an important meeting to send a representative?
Somebody needs to enlighten me.

No finance minister who can stand his or her own in the world stage

Well @OP, you may wish to attend on behalf of Nigeria.

When technocrats nd learned men are debating ideas policies, technology and science is it someone dat does not even have Junior waec certificate dat wants to go and represent us?
Even if he goes he won't make any meaningful contribution apart from look and clap.
