Just In : Federal government gives Nigerians a clue of when the Economy will pick up
Despite the turbulence currently gripping the Nigerian economy, Vice President Kashim Shettima has appealed for calm, saying the country’s economy will surely pick up in 15 months’ time.
This is just as the VP called on both local and foreign investors to look beyond the present economic challenges and make the country their investment hub, because President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is determined to provide the enabling environment for businesses to thrive in the country.
Speaking on Monday while hosting the management of First Surat Group, as well as top management of MTN Nigeria at the presidential villa in Abuja, the VP charged the yello network provider Nigeria to facilitate and spearhead digital mobile money and digital education.
Shettima, in a statement by his spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha, said the Tinubu administration was willing to partner with various stakeholders in the quest to help boost the nation’s productivity base and generate rapid employment.
Earlier, Chairman of First Surat Group, Dr Ali Maina, said aside from the company’s vast interest and strategic partnerships, its corporate social responsibility has seen it investing millions of naira on the lives and welfare of Nigerians.
On his part, Chairman of MTN Nigeria, Ernest Ndukwe and Chief Executive Officer, Karl Olutokun Toriola, said the telecoms firm remains committed to President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
