Economy would’ve collapsed without Tinubu’s reforms, says Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima asserted that Nigeria's economy would have collapsed without President Bola Tinubu's far-reaching reforms. He argued that critics would be writing from abroad about a collapsed economy if it were not for the President's tough decisions. Speaking at a forum organized by the City Boy Movement, Shettima praised the President's decisions, crediting them for the economy's recovery and growth.

He reported that the economy expanded by 4.43 percent in the last quarter and that foreign reserves have risen to $60 billion. Shettima warned that those who criticize the administration would be writing about a collapsed economy if the President had not taken those crucial steps. He also noted that while Nigerians have faced hardships, the situation could have been far worse.

The Vice President called on the youth to share the message and support the President's reelection in the upcoming 2027 elections.
