Economic Hardship: Tinubu dedicated to survival of Nigerian enterprises, says Shettima
Vice-President Kashim Shettima says President Bola Tinubu is dedicated to the survival of Nigerian enterprises.
Mr Shettima said this during a tour of the SecureID Smartcard and Digital Solutions Facility in Lagos, according to a statement on Tuesday.
The vice-president described the Nigerian enterprises as catalysts for a sustainable economic future.
He said the SecureID Smartcard and Digital Solutions Facility in Lagos was a shining example of Nigeria’s industrial and technological potential.
He commended SecureID, the country’s leading smart card manufacturing company, for its two decades of excellence in manufacturing and digital solutions.
Mr Shettima also lauded the company’s evolution from a local startup to a continental leader in digital solutions capable of producing 200 million cards annually, including international passports and voter identification cards.
According to him, this enterprise embodies the promise of what our nation can achieve when our innovative minds are given the support to compete with the rest of the world.
“From a humble local startup to a continental leader, SecureID has proven that with vision, dedication, and hard work, Nigerian businesses can stand tall on the global stage,” he said.
The vice-president noted that economic growth was inseparable from enterprise development.
He revealed some government interventions designed to spur industrial expansion, which include fiscal reforms and the manufacturing sector fund, expected to encourage investment in key industries.
He also revealed that the Tinubu administration had introduced strategic measures to bolster the nation’s economy, ensuring enterprises like SecureID could thrive and drive national development.
Mr Shettima further reaffirmed the government’s commitment to fostering an environment where businesses could flourish. He pledged that the administration would help local industries fulfil their potential.
