Nigeria back on global economic frontline, says Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after a week‑long diplomatic and economic mission to Guinea and Switzerland, declaring that Nigeria has reclaimed a frontline role in global economic and policy conversations. He represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the inauguration of Guinea’s President Mamadi Doumbouya in Conakry and led Nigeria’s delegation to the 2026 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.​ According to his media aide Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima said Nigeria used the trips to reaffirm its leadership within ECOWAS and open fresh bilateral channels, especially in agriculture and manufacturing. He stressed that the engagements underscored the Renewed Hope Agenda’s focus on regional solidarity and economic repositioning.​ A major highlight was the commissioning of Nigeria House Davos, the country’s first sovereign pavilion on the Davos Promenade, designed as a permanent investment hub for opportunities in solid minerals, agriculture and […]

Dangote refinery will make Nigeria net fuel exporter – Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima says the Dangote Refinery is positioning Nigeria to become a net exporter of refined petroleum products after decades as a net importer of value. Speaking at a High level Accra Reset Initiative meeting on the sidelines of the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, he said Africa’s prosperity must be homegrown, built on innovation, industry and interdependence rather than external aid.​ Shettima cited the Lagos based Dangote Refinery as proof of what happens “when African capital meets industrial ambition,” noting that it is gradually turning Nigeria into a major exporter of fuel. He argued that matching production with infrastructure and clear policies can move nations from being price takers to value makers in global markets.​ According to him, only by building domestic productive capacity can African countries convert their large populations and natural endowments into real, […]

Kwankwaso and Governor Yusuf split over APC defection move

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s plan to defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party to the All Progressives Congress has widened his rift with NNPP leader Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and split the party’s structures in Kano. As Yusuf marked his 63rd birthday in Abuja with top officials and allies, Kwankwaso stayed back in Kano, opening a loyalty register for office holders and holding meetings with Kwankwasiyya loyalists to confirm who still stands with him.​ The governor is said to enjoy the backing of all 40 members of the Kano State House of Assembly and the 44 local government chairmen, positioning him strongly for a move to the APC. However, NNPP federal lawmakers from Kano are divided, with some already crossing to the APC while others, such as Umar Mukhtari Zakari of Tarauni, openly oppose the defection plan.​ Several […]

 PENGASSAN Fires Back at VP Shettima Over Dangote Dispute

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) has responded to Vice President Kashim Shettima's criticism of its recent strike, asserting it would take the same action again to protect its members. The dispute began when PENGASSAN launched a strike last week, alleging Dangote Refinery sacked 800 workers for joining the union. The strike was suspended after government intervention, but Vice President Shettima, speaking at an economic summit, condemned the action. He described Aliko Dangote as an "institution" and stated that "Nigeria is greater than PENGASSAN," warning against holding the nation "to ransom." In a sharp rebuttal, PENGASSAN President Festus Osifo stated, "Of course the nation is bigger than PENGASSAN, the way it’s bigger than Dangote and the Presidency." He affirmed that the union has a mandate to protect its members' jobs and would deploy the same strike action […]
