Vice President Kashim Shettima expressed the Federal Government’s sympathy for the citizens, particularly the less privileged, in the face of the challenges being experienced by Nigerians. He emphasized that the government was left with no alternative.
Speaking at the 30th anniversary of the Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja on Monday, Shettima justified the economic strategies of the present administration and outlined the measures put in place to enhance the economy.
Acknowledging that certain policy decisions were difficult but necessary, he emphasized the inevitability of these actions.
“My heart and the heart of President Bola Tinubu go to the Nigerian people. We empathise with what the poor and the young are going through in the Nigerian nation but we have no option.
“Some of these decisions are unpopular but the truth is most often the truth that men prepare not to hear,” he said.
