VicePresident Kashim Shettima has urged Nigerians not to leave politics to politicians alone, calling for a collaboration between the government and business leaders.
The Vice President stated that the relationship is required to boost Nigeria’s economic progress and prosperity.
He stated that open communication, shared views, and collaborative engagement between the public and private sectors were the key to generating solutions customized to Nigeria’s reality.
“Politics is too important to be left to the politicians, and enterprises that define our economic destination are too important to be left to the businessmen alone to develop,” he said.
While aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s economic agenda, Shettima urged conglomerates to serve as pipelines for the administration’s practical economic vision, departing from cosmetic reforms of the past.
“Collaboration between the public and private sectors is the ingredients of a thriving economy. We must engage in open dialogue and share insights and work together to crop solutions that are peculiar to our realities. Whether it is tackling unemployment, reducing poverty, or enhancing education and healthcare, our partnership must aspire to drive sustainable development and create a safe future for all Nigerians,” he added.
