Nigeria’s Economy Facing Turbulence, Says Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has acknowledged that Nigeria’s economy is currently facing challenges. However, he emphasized that this situation is not unique to Nigeria and called on citizens to support President Bola Tinubu during these times.

Shettima made these remarks at a one-day town hall meeting organized by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) in Abuja on Friday.

He stated, “This is a man we need to rally around and support. Yes, our economy is going through turbulence, but is it confined to Nigeria alone? Let’s consider the global picture. Is any economy immune from the challenges of the times? So, I ask you to be fair to this poor man.”

Shettima also highlighted the importance of reforms in fostering a thriving economy, saying, “There is no doubt that every thriving economy grows from the quality of reforms adopted to offer the people avenues to translate their business ideas into formidable enterprises.”
