Vice President Kashim Shettima has expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic future, assuring Nigerians that they will “smile and prosper” in 2025.
He said this while addressing State House Correspondents after a visit to President Bola Tinubu in Lagos on Wednesday.
He believes the economy has turned a corner and is poised for growth.
According to Shettima, the government is working closely with the National Assembly to address national challenges and find robust solutions.
He acknowledged that Nigeria, like other nations, is not immune to global economic challenges, but expressed confidence that the country has crossed a critical threshold and is now on a path to sustained growth.
“The economy has started picking up, and in the coming weeks and months, Nigerians will start smiling.
“We are working assiduously with the National Assembly to come up with 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 so many other global trends are affecting us adversely because we are part of the global community,” the Vice President said.
The Vice President’s positive outlook is shared by economic experts, who predict that Nigeria’s GDP will grow in 2025, driven by key sectors such as agriculture, construction, services, and trade.
Increased foreign direct investment, infrastructure development, growth in the tech industry, and diversification efforts are expected to contribute to the country’s economic growth.
