Hardship: Shettima calls for constructive action over protest

Vice-President Kashim Shettima underlined on Friday the necessity of taking positive action as opposed to protest.

This was said by Shettima at a high-level meeting held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja with the Nutrition Society of Nigeria, or NSN.

He declared that the Federal Government would be taking part in the Grand Challenges Nigeria, GCNg Project, a global health program that aims to fight food insecurity and malnutrition in Nigeria.

According to NAN, the project aims to address issues related to public health and the food system by promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in partnership with the Nutrition Society of Nigeria.

Shettima expressed awareness of the suffering Nigerians are going through as a result of the recent economic changes, especially the elimination of gasoline subsidies.

”This is the time for us to solve our problems, not to protest. The right to protest is guaranteed in most democracies around the world.

”But when you can start the agitation, and you don’t know where it will end, it is a road to anarchy.

“We appreciate what Nigerians are going through, and our heart goes out to them. The oil subsidy has been an albatross on our neck for 50 years.

” Once the harvests start coming, we believe it will have a positive effect on the common man. I wish to call on you to advocate for diplomacy, engagement, and patience.”
