Vice President Kashim Shettima stated that President Bola Tinubu assigned him the task of promoting “the Nigerian dream” at the ongoing World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Speaking during an interview with Channels TV, Shettima said governance in the country has become better than it was before.
He also stated that Nigeria’s presence in Davos is not only of importance to the country but to the continent as a whole.
His words: “With Tinubu at the helm of affairs and firing on all cylinders, we have never had it good in terms of governance. He mandated me to go and sell the Nigerian dream, and I am here to showcase Nigeria to you all.
“You know Nigeria represents Africa, the most populous nation in Africa, it has its largest economy. The trajectory of global growth is facing Africa, and Nigeria will make or mar that transition. So, we have to be in Davos to sell the Nigerian brand because wherever Nigeria goes, that is where Africa goes.
“I appreciate, I applaud, I celebrate the success stories of Botswana, Mauritius, and even Rwanda, but when you look at the size, what is the population of Botswana? 2.6 million people. What is the population of Mauritius? 1.3 million; even Rwanda has a population of 14.9 million people; all are not bigger than metropolitan Kano. So the population of Nigeria is essential.
