Naira Will Continue To Appreciate Against Dollar – Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima is certain that the naira, the country’s currency, would keep rising in value relative to the US dollar.

The country’s currency has been declining against other currencies for months, although it currently converts for about N1,200 to a dollar on the black market.

Shettima believes that the naira’s continuous appreciation is still going strong.

“Naira went haywire and some people were celebrating but inwardly we were laughing at them because we knew that we have the leadership to reverse the trend,” he told a delegation of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) who visited him in his office at the President Villa, Abuja, on Friday.

“Asiwaju knows the game, and truly the naira is gaining and the difference will drop further”.

Shettima recalled Tinubu’s leadership qualities as a former Lagos State governor, adding that “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 said.

“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.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]
