Economic Hardship: We empathise with what the poor are going through but we have no other option — VP Shettima.

Despite the challenges faced by Nigerians, the Federal Government expresses its sympathy for citizens, particularly the poor.

Vice President Senator Shettima made this statement at an event in Abuja on Monday, October 14. According to him, “Some of the policy decisions, the policy options available are painful, but they are almost inevitable.

My heart and the heart of President Bola Tinubu go to the Nigerian people. We empathise with what the poor and the young are going through in the Nigerian nation but we have no option.

Some of these decisions are unpopular but the truth is most often the truth that men prepare not to hear.”
