Nigeria: Tinubu Saved Nigeria From Economic Collapse, Says Shettima
- On Saturday in Lagos, Vice President Kashim Shettima defended President Bola Tinubu's economic reforms, claiming they prevented Nigeria from sliding into a deeper crisis and saved the country from economic collapse.
- Nigeria's foreign reserves stood below $3.9 billion when the administration assumed office, a shortage Shettima described as insufficient to import fuel for even one month.
- However, opposition leaders Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress faulted the administration, arguing Nigerians face worsening poverty, hunger, and insecurity.
- Defending the policy shifts, the Vice President credited Tinubu's "courage and conviction" for major structural changes, specifically citing the removal of the fuel subsidy and unification of multiple exchange rates.
- In the coming weeks, the government will launch 10,600 electric tricycles for the North-East and 300 buses and e-taxis to ease transportation pressures and ameliorate citizens' suffering.
