Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, says the private sector forms an integral half of the crucial foundation that holds the Nigerian government.

He reaffirmed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to creating an environment that fosters entrepreneurship and innovation.

This, according to him, explains why the President’s vision for Nigeria is grounded in eight priority areas, including poverty eradication, economic growth, job creation, and equitable access to capital.

The Vice President spoke on Thursday while inaugurating some projects, including the Ijele 93.1 FM Radio Station, Phase Two of Touch-a-Life Housing Project and a Meter production factory in Anambra State.

“This gathering is a reminder that the private sector forms the other half of the government’s crucial foundation. Whatever innovation we design, whatever ideas we explore, whatever interests we pursue, we cannot achieve our objectives if those for whom they are targeted are not carried along or in tune with our agenda.

“I am utterly proud to be here today, honoured and excited to witness the commissioning of these landmark projects. I am convinced that each of us understands the urgency of our collective actions.”

VP Shettima commended Anambra State for its private sector-driven development, even as he pledged the Nigerian government’s support in addressing the state’s ecological challenges.

Noting that Anambra State has emerged as a critical pillar in Nigeria’s economic future.

He also praised Governor Charles Soludo for his understanding of the importance of a thriving private sector.

The Vice President added that Soludo has demonstrated“Vast understanding of our economic dynamics, not just refined in academic chambers but forged in the crucible of real-world challenges.”

The Vice President also commended the Chairman of Chrome Group and Founder of Sir Emeka Offor Foundation (SEOF), Dr. Emeka Offor, for his contributions to the development of Anambra State.
