Vice-President Kashim Shettima has defended President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms, saying the administration deserves commendation rather than condemnation for policies aimed at repositioning the country’s economy.
Shettima made the remarks on Monday while speaking at the Delta State Economic and Investment Summit in Asaba, where he argued that the reforms had begun yielding positive results, particularly in attracting investment and strengthening Nigeria’s external reserves.
According to the vice-president, the country inherited severe economic challenges but has since witnessed notable improvements under the Tinubu administration.
“Professor Soludo, you have done a lot of things for the federal government, especially in informing Nigerians where we were coming from — from reserves of $3 billion,” Shettima said.
