Vice President Kashim Shettima has reaffirmed Nigeria’s readiness to attract investments across multiple sectors, citing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s progressive policies as key drivers of the country's new economic growth trajectory.
This comes ahead of the Nigeria-Brazil Strategic Dialogue Mechanism, where Brazil’s Vice President, Geraldo Alckmin, will lead a high-level delegation of top executives on a state visit to Nigeria. The meeting marks the second session of the Brazil-Nigeria Mechanism for Strategic Dialogue, resuming after more than a decade-long hiatus.
Speaking during an update meeting with key ministers and agency heads at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday, Shettima emphasized that President Tinubu’s leadership has instilled confidence in Nigeria’s economic future.
“With President Tinubu, we have a leader who has demonstrated the dexterity and audacity to hope for a better tomorrow,” Shettima stated, highlighting the importance of strengthening bilateral relations with Brazil to unlock new economic opportunities.
Shettima expressed satisfaction with the firm grasp of the real issues by ministers in the key sectors targeted for deliberations during the Nigeria-Brazil Strategic Dialogue Mechanism slated for the later part of the year.
He called on all the key actors on the Nigerian side to make adequate preparations for the meeting, noting that there has to be clarity, strategic coherence and a deep understanding of issues that will be tabled for discussion.
