Nigeria: Shettima Seeks Support for Renewed Hope Agenda in New York
Shettima said the reforms are already lifting foreign reserves above $55 billion and securing diaspora remittances and investments, officials said.
- Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima called on Nigerians in the diaspora Wednesday to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration in transforming the country's economic fortunes during an interactive session at Nigeria House in New York.
- When President Tinubu assumed office, he pursued bold economic decisions without blaming his predecessor, focusing on repositioning the economy across education, health, science and technology, and agriculture.
- Foreign reserves surged from $3.9 billion to over $55 billion with 4.45 percent quarterly growth; over 1.29 million tertiary students accessed N125 billion through the Nigeria Education Loan Fund since inception.
- Shettima urged national unity, stating 'whatever binds us together supersedes whatever divides us as a people,' while acknowledging security challenges require all available government resources and improved exchange rates will protect diaspora remittances.
- A high-level delegation including four governors and Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele underscored diaspora engagement's strategic importance, with Shettima positioning overseas Nigerians as possessing critical 'capacity and intellect' as the administration declares it has 'crossed the rubicon' toward sustained growth.
