Fiscal responsibility: Shettima hails Tinubu-led Government as 'most' transparent in its financial dealings
The Nigerian vice president, Kashim Shettima, has on Thursday hailed president Bola Tinubu’s administration for demonstrating transparency in its financial dealings.
Shettima made this emphasis while addressing state governors and some cabinet ministers at the 141st meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC).
Speaking, in his own words, from a statement issued by the Vice president, he said, “ today, I chaired the 141st meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC) attended by State Governors and some cabinet Ministers.”
The Vice president specifically stated that this personally observed quality of the president’s administration is evident in the performance of his government’s fiscal responsibilities, where he has for some time now “demonstrated transparency”.
Shettima continued: “In my brief remarks, I noted with pride the performance of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government especially in its fiscal responsibilities and management, as the administration maintains transparency in financial dealings.”
He expressed happiness about the new positive outlook of Nigeria’s credit rating, which was published by a global credit rating agency, Fitch.
This achievement by the Tinubu-led administration, according to him, has represented the country’s credit worthiness and effective financial management planning and allocation, reflecting confidence in the Nigerian economy on a global scale.
“I cited the recent ranking by global credit rating agency, Fitch, which upgraded Nigeria’s credit outlook to positive, describing it as a reflection of increasing confidence in the Nation’s economy,” he added.
“There is no doubt that this Government has demonstrated transparency in its financial dealings and protections.
