Vice president Kashim Shettima has restated the resolve of President Bola Tinubu to transform the country, saying that Nigerians will soon reap the dividends of the government’s economic policies.
“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.
“Also, the policies of President Tinubu will, in no time, manifest as the greatest milestones crossed for the development of Nigeria,” the vice president added.
Mr Shettima said this on Thursday when the management of Oodua Investment Company Ltd., led by its chairman, 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).
Mr 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 revolutionise the country through this sector, given its endowments.”
The vice president assured that the federal government would continue to open its doors to willing partners and stakeholders who believe and invest in Nigeria.
He added that it was just a matter of time before the nation would take its rightful position across the globe.
Earlier, Mr Ashiru, who thanked the vice president for the opportunity to pay him a courtesy call, commended Mr 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.
Mr Ashiru expressed optimism that businesses would continue to thrive under the Tinubu administration.
He, therefore, called on Nigerians and investors to take advantage of business opportunities in the country.
