Shettima said this on Thursday when the management of Oodua Investment Company Ltd., led by its Chairman, Otunba Bimbo Ashiru, paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The Vice-President commended the company for its initiatives and investment in digital economy, agriculture, and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

Shettima noted that the creative sector remained critical to Nigeria’s economic development and future.

“The Southwest region of our country has the enormous capacity to revolutionize the country through this sector, given its endowments.

” Also, the policies of President Tinubu will, in no time, manifest as the greatest milestones crossed for the development of Nigeria.

” Few persons sat on our commonwealth and manipulated our resources. But we are checkmating these manipulations and as can be seen the economy is gradually beginning to recover and pick up.

” We are, indeed, ready to carry the burden of leadership, and together with stakeholders like you, we are crossing the Rubicon and the time for reaping will come,” he said.

Shettima assured that the Federal Government would continue to open its doors to all willing partners and stakeholders who continue to believe and invest in the Nigeria project.

He added that it was just a matter of time before the nation would take its rightful position across the globe.

Earlier, Ashiru, who thanked the Vice-President for the opportunity to pay him a courtesy call, commended Tinubu for promoting ease of doing business in the country.

” You could see that businesses are coming in, and that is why we are here. I see a brighter future in this country with what we have seen in general.

“Nigerians have no business going around the world looking for money, especially with the volume of resources at its disposal, more so that our investors are our greatest assets,” he said.

Ashiru expressed optimism that businesses would continue to thrive under the Tinubu’s administration.

He, therefore, called on the citizens and investors to take advantage of the opportunities that abound in Nigeria to do business.
