Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima has assured teeming Nigerians that the country’s currency will continue to perform at the forex market, saying it will appreciate more as the dollar continues to crash.
According to a statement on Saturday by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Office of the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, the VP noted the Tinubu administration’s decision to end fuel subsidy and unify the multiple exchange rate was necessary to address the challenges facing the country.
Continuing, he said the dollar will further crash against the Naira, the Vice President said: “Naira went haywire and some people were celebrating but inwardly we were laughing at them because we knew that we have the leadership to reverse the trend. Asiwaju knows the game, and truly the naira is gaining and the difference will drop further”.
The Borno born politician added that the quality of leadership provided by President Tinubu as Lagos Governor laid the foundation for the massive development witnessed in the State.
He said “We will always thank President Tinubu for providing the blueprint for the development of Lagos that we are seeing today”.
“We are determined to ensure that we generate jobs for our youths. Honestly, the President’s obsession is to live in a place of glory, to transform this country to a higher pedestal. He wants to leave a legacy, one of qualitative leadership because the hope of the black man, the hope of Africa rests with Nigeria.
“I want to assure you that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is one of you. He understands your ecosystem. In this government, you have an ally and a friend,” Shettima further noted.
