Vice-President Kashim Shettima has reassured that President Bola Tinubu’s government will harness the experiences of intellectuals and policy experts to actualise its ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’.

Mr Shettima said this at the Presidential Villa when he received the board and management of Bruit Costaud, a government affairs, strategic policy communications and advisory firm.

“The calibre of people covering a wide spectrum of areas, including security, energy, international diplomacy, communications and others, is a testimony to the seriousness of the group,” said the vice-president.

Mr Shettima added, “I am also glad to know that our intellectuals and policy experts are still relevant in the scheme of things, contributing to the progress of our country; that is how it should be.

“The world is knowledge-driven; everything that we are doing today is guided by knowledge.

“That is why we have to engage groups like yours.”
