Vice President Kashim Shettima has said that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is up against the formidable task of resolving Nigeria’s issues.
According to Shettima, the current administration has no intention of misleading Nigerians or making life worse for its people.
He assured that the nation’s current economic problems would soon be resolved.
He delivered a speech yesterday in Lagos at the University of Lagos Muslim Alumni, or UMA, 29th pre-Ramadan lecture. The talk’s theme was “Economic Reforms for Nigeria: Challenges and Prospects for the Future.”
Through his Special Advisor on Political Matters, the Vice President of Nigeria, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, asked Nigerians to respond to the current circumstances “in a responsible and mature manner.”
He said: “Yet, my brothers and sisters, we do not have the choice of continuing in the direction that brought us where we are today. We have to fix this country, and failure to do this is not an option. All the options we have are difficult and challenging, and they are, without a doubt, more telling on the poor. If there are easier and reliable alternatives to the policy choices we have adopted, we would have adopted them.
“Our administration does not plan to make the lives of Nigerians more difficult. Nor do we intend to deceive fellow citizens that the change in direction and the expected outcome can be achieved without pain or sacrifices.
“We are also acutely aware that ours is a set of related Nigerian problems, and the solutions we seek must be genuinely informed by a Nigerian context, not the experiences of others or the preferences of special foreign interests which are removed from consequences of mis-steps or errors of judgement.
“We expect that Nigerians should express their feelings over our circumstances in a responsible and mature manner. We are also a deeply religious people, and we believe in the powers of faith and prayers.”
