Vice-President Kashim Shettima has expressed confidence that Nigeria’s economy will experience significant growth by 2025. Speaking at a retreat for presidential aides and heads of units in his Abuja office on Saturday, Shettima highlighted recent improvements, including a crude oil production rate of 1.8 million barrels per day.

Shettima attributed the positive economic trajectory to President Bola Tinubu’s policies and commitment to transforming the nation’s economic landscape. “President Tinubu is determined to change the fortunes of the nation. We all want to bequeath to the younger generation a united and progressive country,” he stated.

While acknowledging the challenges the economy has faced, Shettima emphasized that the nation has “turned the corner.” He expressed optimism about the future, stating, “The economy is on an upward trajectory and I believe in the new year, the economy will grow in leaps and bounds.”

He urged both presidential aides and all Nigerians to support President Tinubu in fulfilling his mandate, saying, “The country is greater than all of us. I urge you, let’s work as a team and as a family.”

Earlier, Hassan Hadejia, deputy chief of staff to the president (office of the vice-president), noted that the retreat aimed to foster collaboration among aides and ensure effective execution of tasks. Hadejia underscored the importance of enhancing strategic communication, streamlining project funding, and improving partnerships within the office, as well as with ministries, departments, and agencies.
