Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged Nigerians to express their grievances over the current economic hardship in a responsible and mature way.

The VP said this at an event at the UNILAG on March 2, 2024.

According to him, “The consequences of our past are the stark realities we face today, such as rising cost of living and pessimism over our prospect to turn round our economy in the direction of growth and development.

Yet, my brothers and sisters, we do not have the choice of continuing in the direction that brought us where we are today. We have to fix this country, and failure to do this is not an option.

All the options we have are difficult and challenging, and they are, without a doubt, more telling on the poor. If there are easier and reliable alternatives to the policy choices we have adopted, we would have adopted them.

We expect that Nigerians should express their feelings over our circumstances in a responsible and mature manner.
