Vice President Kashim Shettima has boasted that the Nigerian economy would witness a turnaround and that there would be robust economic activities in the country in 2025. The vice president was optimistic of economic growth.
President Bola Tinubu had told Nigerians that the soaring hyperinflation would come down from 34.6% to as low as 15%. Economists have expressed their misgivings about the promise and called it unrealistic.
On Thursday, Dada Olusegun, a vice presidential aide on social media posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) stating the view of the vice president on economic development.
Shettima said: “I believe we have turned a corner. Insha Allah, we shall have robust economic activity in the New Year.
“The economy has started picking up, and in the coming weeks and months, Nigerians will start smiling for the better.
“We are working assiduously with the National Assembly to develop robust solutions to our national challenges.
“There is no nation that is immune to the economic headwinds across the world. The crisis in Ukraine and many other global crises are affecting us because we are part of the global economy.
“But I want to assure Nigerians that the economy is turning the corner, and by the grace of God, we have crossed the Rubicon and are on a path to sustained growth. We wish Nigerians well.”
