    Vice President Kashim Shettima, on Saturday, said regardless of the challenges confronting Nigeria, the nation’s economy was on the path of growth on account of President Bola Tinubu’s policies and determination to transform the economy for all Nigerians.

    The Vice President listed some of the improvements recorded so far to include crude oil production hitting 1.8 million barrels per day.

    Senator Shettima stated this in Abuja during a one-day retreat for presidential aides and heads of units in his office.

    Addressing participants at the retreat, the VP in a statement by his spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha, was quoted as saying, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is determined to change the fortunes of the nation. We all want to bequeath to the younger generation a united and progressive country.

    “Yes, the economy has and is experiencing challenges but we have turned the corner. As of now, we are producing 1.8 million barrels of oil per day. The economy is on an upward trajectory and I believe in the new year, the economy will grow in leaps and bounds.”

    Accordingly, the Vice President urged all aides in the presidency to synergise more and work harder in helping the President to deliver on his mandate. “The country is greater than all of us. I urge you, let’s work as a team and as a family.”
