ABUJA — President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has described Vice President Kashim Shettima’s journey through public service as one distinguished by courage in adversity, intellectual depth, loyalty to country and an abiding conviction in the promise of Nigeria.

The message was made available by Akpabio’s Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom.

The Senate President described Shettima as an accomplished public servant and steadfast patriot, recalling his progression from commissioner to governor, senator and Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
