Vice President Kashim Shettima has called on Nigerians to rally around President Bola Tinubu as he works to address the country’s socio-political, economic, and security challenges.
Shettima spoke in Abuja on Thursday at the launch of a book titled ‘Navigating the Politics of Universal Education Policies in Nigeria’ authored by Prof Modupe Adelabu.
He assured Nigerians that the benefits of the tough measures being implemented would soon be evident, emphasizing that the focus should not be on lamenting the nation’s past or present difficulties but on finding solutions to the core challenges.
Shettima described President Tinubu as a leader who means well for the nation, saying he has a good soul and is not in power to engage in primitive capital accumulation but to leave landmarks in the sands of time.
He also highlighted the need to address the out-of-school children crisis in the northern region, attributing it to the breakdown of family values and a dysfunctional family system.
The Vice President supported the proposal that development commissions should be mandated to tackle the issues plaguing basic education, particularly the out-of-school children crisis in the region.
