Vice President Kashim Shettima has decried the continuation of the war between Russia and Ukraine, saying it is hurting the Nigerian economy.
He, however, expressed optimism that the worst-case scenario is over, as the economy is steadily picking up and on the path to growth.
The VP, while wishing Nigerians the best for the year 2025, said talks are ongoing with the National Assembly to birth policies that will help overcome emerging challenges.
Shettima stated this on Wednesday in Lagos when he visited the President, Bola Tinubu.
According to the VP: “I’m highly optimistic about tomorrow. I believe we have turned the corner and, Insha’Allah, we shall have very robust economic activities in the new year. I believe Nigerians will prosper.
“The economy has started picking up, and in the coming weeks and months, Nigerians will start smiling for the better.
“We are working assiduously with the National Assembly to come up with robust solutions to our national challenges. There is no nation that is immune to the economic headwinds across the world.
“The crisis in Ukraine and so many other global trends are affecting us adversely because we are part of the global community. But I want to assure Nigerians that the economy is turning the corner. By the grace of God, we have crossed the Rubicon, and we are on a path to sustained growth. We wish Nigerians well.”
