Vice President Kashim Shettima on Tuesday, August 22, conveyed from Johannesburg, South Africa, his assurance to the global audience that Nigeria’s prospects are set to transform in the upcoming months due to the endeavours of President Bola Tinubu-led administration.

Shettima, who stated this while touring the exhibition stands at the BRICS Trade Fair, is attending the 15th BRICS Summit of Heads of State and Government.

According to a statement issued by Olusola Abiola, the director of Information in his office, Shettima emphasised that President Tinubu holds a deep passion for empowering Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to foster the growth of the national economy.

The vice president stated that Tinubu’s strong commitment lies in empowering MSMEs to facilitate the advancement of the nation’s economy.

He said,

“It is a known fact that the empowerment of the MSMEs is key to empowering our youth and women towards contributing to the nation’s economic development.”

“The President is a very compassionate leader and in the coming months, there will be changes in the fortunes of Nigeria.”

Explaining the economic impact of the growth of MSMEs on the economy, Shettima said: “This will have positive impacts which will enable them to support their families and add value to the nation.”

He commended the organizers of the trade fair which had about 180 exhibitors from various sectors of the economy, adding that the exhibitions would in the long run serve the purpose of galvanising investment and trade in the continent.

Shettima, who took time to inspect Nigeria’s exhibitions, lauded the investments of Nigerians in South Africa.

He said,

“I am quite impressed by the investment Nigerians are making in South Africa. This is the harbinger of greater things to come. I can say that Nigerians are active in the digital economy, they are active in fashion, they are equally active in mining,

“I am quite glad that quite a number of our countrymen are doing well and are willing to partner with the home nation for the greater glory of the African continent.”

While praising Rose Bank, a Nigerian investment outfit in South Africa for the funding of a cassava project worth 40 billion Naira, the Vice President affirmed that “it is game a changer with the cassava value chain with its huge economic benefits. We hope that it will be reflected in other parts of the country.”

The Trade Fair is being organised by the BRIC South Africa & the SA BRICS Business Council (SABBC) in collaboration with the Department of Trade Industry and Competition, on the sidelines of the ongoing 15th BRICS Summit.

The exhibition is expected to serve as a platform for showcasing products and services from the BRICS countries as well as business-to-business interaction aimed at increasing intra-BRICS trade and investments.

The vice president was accompanied to the Trade Fair by Nigeria’s High Commissioner to South Africa, Amb. Muhammad Haruna Manta, the Consul-General, Amb. Andrew Idi and other senior government officials.
