Nigeria’s economy picking up —Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has assured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu’s reforms will begin yielding positive results in the coming weeks and months.

Speaking after a New Year visit to the president at his Lagos residence, Shettima expressed confidence in the nation’s economic trajectory and the administration’s unrelenting efforts to improve citizens’ lives.

He noted that the country’s economy is beginning to show signs of recovery.

The vice-president stated that Nigeria is successfully navigating global economic challenges, including the Ukraine crisis, through strategic planning and resilience. He assured Nigerians that 2025 would bring prosperity and economic improvement.

“I’m highly optimistic about tomorrow. I believe we have turned the corner. We shall have very robust economic activities in the new year. I believe Nigerians will prosper.

“We are working assiduously with the National Assembly to come up with robust solutions to our national challenges. There is no nation that is immune to the economic headwinds across the world.

“The crisis in Ukraine and many other global trends are affecting us adversely because we are part of the global community.

“But I want to assure Nigerians that the economy is turning the corner. By the grace of God, we have crossed the Rubicon, and we are on a path to sustained growth. We wish Nigerians well,” he said.
