Vice President Kashim Shettima has assured that the ongoing reforms being carried out by President Bola Tinubu-led administration will soon guarantee a future for the country.
Shettima gave the assurance in Gombe at the launch of the “Outsource to Nigeria Initiative” (OTNI), a drive to redirect the talents and skills that abound in the country.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports the initiative is significant in capturing a portion of the global Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO) market valued at 8.79 trillion dollars.
Shettima described President Bola Tinubu as “a visionary leader and refined economic strategist who has a firm grip on the distinction between the current situation in Nigeria and the route within the global landscape.”
He assured that all Nigerians would be grateful to Tinubu for the resilience and foresight displayed in navigating the nation towards economic prosperity.
The Vice President appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the administration in respect of the economic decisions taken so far.
He explained that the decisions might have presented some temporary challenges, but they were strategic in strengthening the fabric of the nation’s economy.
“The tough decisions we have taken may pose short-term challenges, but rest assured, they are strategic investments to fortify the foundations of our economy.
”As your guarantee, I affirm that the reforms in progress will not only weather the storms but usher in a future where we shall stand grateful for the resilience and foresight displayed in propelling our nation towards economic prosperity,” he said.
Shettima expressed confidence that OTNI would turn around the economic fortunes of the country.
He said the initiative would produce millions of job opportunities and spur Nigeria’s BPO and Information technology-enabled services sector into growth that has never been witnessed before.
