The Minister of Steel Development, Prince Shuaibu Audu, has congratulated Vice President Kashim Shettima on the occasion of his 58th birthday.
Audu in a birthday message by his Special Assistant on Media, Mrs Lizzy Okoji, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja, described Shettima as a true democrat and peacemaker.
The minister said that the Vice President had, on several occasions, brokered peace between conflicting political factions, individuals, and institutions.
He lauded the celebrant’s commitment as a major advocate for the realisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Audu further described Shettima as an astute economist and banker who held high-ranking executive positions in the banking sector before his foray into politics.
According to him, such experience has prepared him for his pivotal role in the country’s economic recovery and stability.
“Your commitment, steadfast leadership, dedication, and loyalty to this great nation are beyond measure and must be emulated by all. You are indeed an inspiration to many Nigerians.
“We celebrate the remarkable achievements you have garnered over the years.
“We commend your contributions to the development, peace, and progress of our great country, Nigeria, from your time as governor of Borno to senator and now Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said.
The minister wished the Vice President good health and wisdom to continue to serve the nation. (NAN)
