We’ll Soon Address Power Supply Deficit In Borno – Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has reiterated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to massively boosting Nigeria’s infrastructural needs, saying the President has his eyes on the basic needs and requirements of the nation.

Speaking Tuesday at his residence in Maiduguri when he hosted members of the Borno Elders Forum, members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and other stakeholders to Ramadan Iftar (breaking of fast), the Vice President in a statement by his media aide, Stanley Nkwocha called for continued support for the Tinubu administration by all Nigerians, just as he said the government’s policies would be immensely  beneficial to all and sundry in no distant time.

He specifically cited the power supply challenge in Maiduguri and some parts of Borno as having caught the President’s attention, thus the directive issued by President Tinubu for the situation to be immediately addressed.

“We owe it to this President to be loyal and law-abiding citizens. He has a total grasp of the situation, challenges and, indeed, the prospects we have as a nation. A careful look at our nation’s economy will show a gradual bouncing back on most frontiers.

“This is a testament that, indeed, our investment of our votes and trust in this leader will pay off at the end of the road. So, let us continue to pray for him, commit ourselves to peace, unity and development of the Nigerian nation and we shall definitely be the winners for it,” the Vice President noted.
