Vice President Kashim Shettima expressed confidence in the continuous appreciation of the nation’s currency, the naira, against the dollar, which currently stands at around N1,200 to a dollar in the parallel market after a period of decline.

Referring to the leadership qualities of former Lagos State Governor Asiwaju Tinubu, Shettima highlighted the importance of generating employment opportunities for the youth and striving for national development to leave a lasting legacy of quality leadership.

Shettima reiterated the significance of President Tinubu’s understanding of the people’s needs and aspirations, emphasizing the collective responsibility to work towards a prosperous future for Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
