Vice President Kashim Shettima has said President Bola Tinubu deserves commendation rather than criticism for his administration’s efforts to reposition Nigeria’s economy.
Shettima made the remarks while speaking at the Delta State Economic and Investment Summit on Monday, where he highlighted the Federal Government’s reform agenda and its commitment to creating an enabling environment for economic growth and investment.
According to the Vice President, the Tinubu administration has undertaken difficult but necessary reforms aimed at stabilising the economy, improving investor confidence and laying the foundation for long-term national development.
“The president deserves commendation and not condemnation,” Shettima said, urging Nigerians to appreciate the sacrifices and policy decisions being implemented to address the country’s economic challenges.

The Delta State Economic and Investment Summit brought together government officials, business leaders, investors and development partners to explore strategies for boosting economic growth and expanding investment opportunities in the state and across Nigeria.
