Vice President Says It Is a Delicate Period in Today’s Nigeria to Be Elected Leaders

Vice President Kashim Shettima says it is delicate in Nigeria to be an elected leader, considering the magnitude of challenges facing the country.

According to the Vice President, leadership in today’s Nigeria demands the application of their most rational wisdom to make a difference.

Shettima speaking at the meeting of the National Economic Council in Abuja on Thursday, told state governors they are in office at a period which would test the depth of their leadership quality.

He tasked the governors to give priorities to whatever that would give Nigerians a means of livelihood with dignity.

For instance, the vice president urged the governors to ensure that the palliative they are deploying are not discriminatory and to reach all the stakeholders, irrespective of their background.

We must remain consistent in implementing the initiatives that alleviate the suffering of our citizens and be accountable in doing so.

We must also ensure that interventions we deploy are non-discriminatory and favour all stakeholders, with no part of our communities or nation left lagging.

When we empower entrepreneurs and small business owners, we unlock the potential for innovation, job creation, and economic growth.

By providing access to financing, training, and mentorship programs, we unleash the entrepreneurial spirit that lies within every Nigerian, catalysing a wave of economic prosperity that benefits us all.

We cannot achieve this without inclusivity and equitable access to opportunities. This is the ladder we must offer to every disadvantaged citizen.
