The Naira would continue to gain value in the foreign currency market relative to the US dollar, Vice President Kashim Shettima has reassured Nigerians.
When the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) paid him a courtesy call in his office at the President Villa in Abuja, under the leadership of its President, Gabriel Idahosa, Shettima said that when the Naira went crazy and some people were celebrating, they were secretly laughing at them because they knew they had the power to turn the tide.
He added that “the previous arrangement was producing billionaires overnight,” thus President Bola Tinubu had to ensure that the gasoline subsidy ended and that the numerous currency rates were unified.

He said; “Naira went haywire and some people were celebrating but inwardly we were laughing at them because we knew that we had the leadership to reverse the trend. Asiwaju knows the game, and truly the naira is gaining and the difference will drop further.
“We will always thank President Tinubu for providing the blueprint for the development of Lagos that we are seeing today. We are determined to ensure that we generate jobs for our youths. Honestly, the President’s obsession is to live in a place of glory, to transform this country to a higher pedestal. He wants to leave a legacy, one of qualitative leadership because the hope of the black man, the hope of Africa rests with Nigeria.
“I want to assure you that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is one of you. He understands your ecosystem. In this government, you have an ally and a friend.”
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
