Shettima shares life lesson at 60, says don’t spend a kobo on a gift for me
Vice President Kashim Shettima has asked “Nigerians, friends, supporters and associates not to spend money on gifts or celebrations for his 60th birthday, urging them instead to channel such resources to charities, causes or people in need across the country.”
Shettima, who turns 60 on Wednesday, made the appeal in a statement posted on his X account on Tuesday night, saying he was “even more resolute” about his longstanding request as he reached the milestone age.
“Over the years, I have been deeply humbled by the affection, prayers and goodwill that have accompanied my birthdays.
“Such occasions leave one grateful for the friendships, fellowships and bonds accumulated across the years,” he said.
