Shettima: Nigeria’s Infrastructural Development, Top Priority Of Tinubu’s Government

Vice President Kashim Shettima has assured of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to massively boosting Nigeria’s infrastructural needs, saying the President has his eyes on the basic needs and requirements of Nigeria.

Speaking Tuesday at his residence in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital while playing host to members of  Borno Elders Forum, members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other stakeholders to Ramadan Iftar (breaking of fast), Shettima called for continued support for the Tinubu administration by all Nigerians, just as he said the government’s policies would be immensely  beneficial to all and sundry before long.

He specifically cited the power supply challenge in Maiduguri and some parts of Borno as having caught the President’s attention, thus the directive issued by President Tinubu for the situation to be immediately addressed.

According to him: “We owe it to this President to be loyal and law-abiding citizens. He has a total grasp of the situation, challenges and, indeed, the prospects we have as a nation. A careful look at our nation’s economy will show a gradual bouncing back on most frontiers.

“This is a testament that, indeed, our investment of our votes and trust in this leader will pay off at the end of the road. So, let us continue to pray for him, commit ourselves to peace, unity and development of the Nigerian nation and we shall definitely be the winners for it”.

Also speaking at the event,  Chairman of Borno Elders Forum, Alhaji Gambo Gubio, thanked the Vice President for the invitation, expressing deep belief and trust in the capacities of both the President and his Vice.

On his part, the Secretary of the Forum, Alhaji Bulama Gubio, who acknowledged the commitment of the Tinubu administration to the Nigerian project, said the President deserves support from all Nigerians.
