Vice President Kashim Shettima has reiterated the commitment of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to economic revitalisation through poverty reduction.
The VP stated this on Wednesday while inaugurating the corporate headquarters of the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency of Nigeria, SMEDAN, in Abuja.
According to him, the Tinubu administration is strategically focusing on job creation, capital accessibility, economic growth, and poverty eradication to revamp the economy.
Shettima said the federal government, under President Tinubu’s watch, would never shift ground in its determination to protect businesses in the country.
The vice president noted that enterprises are not only the very bedrock of a society but also reflect the direction the government is heading and the speed with which it is doing so.
“Allow me to emphasise the importance of this moment: there is no more fitting time than now to reinforce the protection of enterprises in Nigeria. These enterprises not only stand as the very bedrock of our society but also reflect the direction the government is headed and the velocity with which we do so.
“This moment solidifies President Bola Tinubu’s assurance to protect our enterprises. It resonates deeply within our economic revitalisation plan. His focus on job creation, capital accessibility, economic growth, and poverty eradication forms the very skeleton of our strategy to invigorate the economy. Inevitably, this path demands tough decisions, yet ones essential to our success,” he said.
