The Vice President, Sen. Kashim Shettima, has urged the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy Tax Reforms to salvage the nation from economic downfall, adding that the country is economically challenged.
Shettima made this known in a meeting with members of the Committee led by the Chairman, Mr Taiwo Oyedele, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
As obtained from the VP’s X handler @officialSKM, “I believe you will come up with a roadmap to salvage our nation. We are in a big mess, but I have confidence in your team. This is a great nation chained by poor governance, chained by many challenges, and my principal is a man of courage and conviction; he is a progressive man in the Nigerian political space.”
According to Shettima, the country focuses on domestic resource mobilisation, which is a global trend.
“The task before you is enormous; I believe you have the best brains to come up with a robust roadmap that will reposition our economy, addressing some of the fundamental issues underlying our fiscal and tax policies. Fiscal and tax policies are key to the realisation of any nation’s economic development.”
