Vice President Kashim Shettima has reiterated President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to boosting Nigeria’s infrastructural needs.
He said the President has his eyes on the basic needs and requirements of the nation.
Speaking on Tuesday evening at his residence in Maiduguri, Borno State, when he hosted members of the Borno Elders Forum, members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other stakeholders to Ramadan Iftar (breaking of fast), the Vice President called for continued support for the President Tinubu’s administration by all Nigerians.

He said; “the government’s policies would be beneficial to all and sundry in no distant time.”
The VP specifically cited the power supply challenge in Maiduguri and some parts of Borno State as having caught the President’s attention.
VP Shertima said; “President Tinubu has directed that the situation be immediately addressed.”
“We owe it to this President to be loyal and law-abiding citizens. He has a total grasp of the situation, challenges and, indeed, the prospects we have as a nation.
“A careful look at our nation’s economy will show a gradual bouncing back on most frontiers.
“This is a testament that, indeed, the investment of our votes and trust in this leader will pay off at the end of the road. So, let us continue to pray for him, commit ourselves to peace, unity and development of the Nigerian nation and we shall definitely be the winners for it,” the Vice President noted.
Also speaking at the event, Chairman of Borno Elders Forum, Alhaji Gambo Gubio, thanked the Vice President for hosting the Iftar, expressing deep belief and trust in the capacities of both the President and his Vice.
He was joined by the Secretary of the group, Dr. Bulama Mali, who acknowledged the commitment of the Tinubu administration to the Nigerian project.
