Vice President of Nigeria, Senator Kashim Shettima, has reiterated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bold economic policies are being implemented in the best interests of Nigerians, aimed at transforming the country’s business environment and boosting investor confidence.
In a post shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, July 24, 2025, Shettima noted that the administration has deliberately taken difficult but necessary decisions to strengthen Nigeria’s economic foundation. He highlighted key policy measures, including the removal of fuel subsidy, the realignment of the multiple exchange rate system, and ongoing tax reforms, as pivotal moves that will ensure long-term economic stability.
The Vice President made these remarks while receiving the newly elected leadership of the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), led by their National President, Engr. Jani Ibrahim, during a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
“I can assure you that Nigeria is ready for business, and you are the drivers of change,” Shettima said. “I plead guilty to romancing with the business community, particularly the manufacturing and productive sectors. This is how great nations build. This is how Korea became what it is.”
He also pledged the government’s full support for the private sector, calling on NACCIMA to continue partnering with the federal government in driving economic reforms, creating jobs, and expanding local production.
The visit by NACCIMA’s leadership comes amid growing dialogue between the government and key stakeholders on how to deepen Nigeria’s industrial capacity and enhance economic inclusivity.
Shettima’s comments underscore the Tinubu administration’s continued push to position Nigeria as a viable hub for business and investment, both within Africa and globally.
