The vice president was also invited for the 2024 edition of the conference taking place in Lagos state.
Speaking at the event, Shettima expressed his surprise at being invited to speak again, considering the attention his sneakers had attracted last time.
He humorously remarked that it's reassuring to see that wearing sneakers is not a prerequisite for attending NBA events, implying his relief at being invited back despite his previous fashion choice.
Shettima represented President Bola Tinubu at the conference aimed at advocating for democratic values and upholding the rule of law.
In his remark, he commended the NBA's commitment to these principles, which he said are essential for a functioning democracy.

His comment reads in part:
“Actually, I was quite the sensation. I remember the famous Nigerian author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, taking pictures of me in my ‘Mungo Park suit’ when we were called in.”
