Tinubu Positioning Nigeria Into A Vibrant, Prosperous Nation – Shettima

The Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bold vision and pragmatic leadership will transform Nigeria into a better and more vibrant country in no distant future.
He says the projection is premised on the Renewed Hope administration’s robust investments in healthcare, education, and other critical economic sectors.

According to his spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha, VP Shettima, stated this at the weekend when he received a delegation from Big Win Philanthropy, led by its CEO, Jamie Cooper, on a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

“I project a vibrant and better Nigerian society in a couple of years. We are investing in healthcare and education—it is a game-changer. With education, the son of a pauper can become a celebrated icon within a generation,” he stated.

The Vice President welcomed Big Win Philanthropy’s pledge to work with the Tinubu administration, saying the government is ready to explore how the Foundation’s “wealth of experience intersects with President Tinubu’s Bold vision – our Renewed Hope Agenda.

He explained that the Nutrition 774 Initiative – a grassroots-driven programme designed to institutionalise nutrition at the local government level – is a multisector initiative that will drive the process of reversing Nigeria’s negative health indicators.
