Kashim Shettima requests no public celebrations for 60th birthday

Nigerian Vice President Kashim Shettima has requested that well-wishers refrain from organizing public celebrations or placing congratulatory advertisements in newspapers, radio, television, or digital platforms for his upcoming 60th birthday on September 2.

Shettima stated that the decision to keep the milestone low-key is intended to maintain propriety and ensure that public attention remains focused on national development and the challenges facing the country. Instead of celebratory events or paid advertorials, he urged supporters to channel their goodwill into prayers for Nigeria and the administration of President Bola Tinubu. Specifically, he requested prayers for the success of economic reforms, improved national security, greater unity, and the overall peace and prosperity of the nation.
