Vice President Kashim Shettima has outlined key pillars of the Tinubu administration’s economic strategy, focusing on institutional trust and physical connectivity.

In early September, Shettima emphasized the necessity of transparent and reliable financial reporting to foster investor confidence and economic stability. He noted that a credible reporting ecosystem is vital to reduce information asymmetry and strengthen corporate accountability, stating that prosperity depends on “confidence in the numbers.”

Following this, the administration shifted focus toward transportation infrastructure. Shettima stated that improving highways, rail corridors, ports, and logistics is an economic necessity intended to reduce movement costs, support transporters, and enhance national productivity across sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing.
