Vice President Kashim Shettima has requested a discreet birthday celebration on September 2, 2026, marking his 60th birthday. Departing Abuja for the African Union summit in Angola, Shettima emphasized the importance of keeping the focus on national development rather than personal milestones. He appealed to friends, associates, and well-wishers to refrain from public advertisements or celebratory messages across media platforms.
Instead, Shettima urged well-wishers to offer prayers for Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu's economic reforms, security challenges, national unity, and overall prosperity.
