It’s Time To Solve Problems Rather Than Protest, VP Shettima Says

On Friday, the Federal Government announced its involvement in the Grand Challenges Nigeria project, a global health initiative focused at tackling malnutrition and food insecurity in Nigeria. Vice President Kashim Shettima said it is a time to tackle problems and not complain.

At a high-level meeting held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, he made this statement.

Even though Shettima acknowledged the hardships Nigerians are facing as a result of recent economic reforms, particularly the withdrawal of gasoline subsidies, he emphasized the necessity for constructive action over protest.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President of Media, Stanley Nkwocha.

“This is the time for us to solve our problems, not to protest. the right to protest is guaranteed in most democracies around the world, but when you can start the agitation, and you don’t know where it will end, it is a road to anarchy,” he said.

“We appreciate what Nigerians are going through, and our heart goes out to them. The oil subsidy has been an albatross on our neck for 50 years. Once the harvests start coming, we believe it will have a positive effect on the common man.

“I wish to call on you to advocate for diplomacy, engagement, and patience. the president is very much committed to the Nigerian project but it’s like a percolation project.”

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
