Speaking at a one-day retreat for presidential aides and heads of units in Abuja on Saturday, Shettima assured attendees that the nation’s economy is on an upward trajectory despite prevailing challenges.
Highlighting the administration’s achievements, Shettima noted that crude oil production had reached 1.8 million barrels per day—a milestone that underscores the effectiveness of recent economic policies.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is determined to change the fortunes of the nation. We all want to bequeath to the younger generation a united and progressive country,” the Vice President stated, as quoted by his media aide, Stanley Nkwocha.
Acknowledging the economic difficulties faced by Nigerians, Shettima emphasized that the administration’s reforms are yielding results and predicted significant growth in 2024.
“Yes, the economy has and is experiencing challenges, but we have turned the corner. The economy is on an upward trajectory, and I believe in the new year, it will grow in leaps and bounds,” he said.
Shettima urged all aides in the presidency to strengthen their collaboration and commitment to delivering on the administration’s mandate. “The country is greater than all of us. I urge you, let’s work as a team and as a family,” he added.
The retreat, aimed at fostering synergy among presidential aides, reflects the administration's focus on unified governance to drive Nigeria toward a brighter economic future.
