Vice President Kashim Shettima says stability is one of the primes in the economic agenda of the President Bola Tinubu’s administration for 2024.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President, Office of the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, in a statement, said Shettima stated this at the 136th National Economic Council (NEC) meeting held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday.
Shettima said government at all levels must remain committed to re-evaluating their priorities and streamline processes.
He also emphasised the need for the three tiers of government to make bold decisions that would reflect key social issues, including social protection, social investment and nutrition.
Speaking on the theme, “Planning for Stability: Our Agenda for Economic Growth in 2024,”, Shettima reminded governors and other members of NEC that the weight of the tough decisions to rescue Nigeria’s economy depends on their cooperation and goodwill.
He noted that what has set Tinubu apart as a Nigerian leader was the courage to embark on fixing the country’s economy through bold reforms.
“It took courage for him to embark on fixing an economy hindered by decades of political lip service. But that’s what has set President Bola Ahmed Tinubu apart: his bold reforms to reposition the economy and save it from further erosion.”
