“Our Hearts Are with Nigerians” – Shettima Speaks on Tough Economic

Vice President Kashim Shettima has expressed deep sympathy for Nigerians, particularly those living in poverty, acknowledging the severe economic challenges faced by the nation.
Speaking at the 30th anniversary of the Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja on Monday, Shettima emphasized that the Federal Government is acutely aware of the difficulties its citizens are experiencing but stressed that some of the tough economic decisions made by the current administration were unavoidable.
He explained that while the policies may seem harsh, they are essential steps toward stabilizing and improving the nation’s economy.
Shettima defended the administration’s economic strategies, reiterating that these measures are designed to set the country on a path of sustainable growth, even though they may cause short-term discomfort.
“My heart and the heart of President Bola Tinubu go out to the Nigerian people.
We deeply understand the struggles the poor and the youth are enduring.
However, the government is faced with limited choices, and some of these actions, while unpopular, are necessary to secure a brighter future,” Shettima remarked.
He admitted that the decisions made by the government might not be well-received by the public but pointed out that difficult truths are often the ones people are most reluctant to accept.
Shettima also highlighted various steps the government has taken to address economic challenges, including reforms aimed at promoting investment, curbing inflation, and boosting job creation.
While acknowledging that these policies have been difficult to implement and have affected people’s daily lives, he emphasized that they are critical to fostering long-term development.
During the summit, Shettima also noted the commitment of President Bola Tinubu and the entire administration toward improving the welfare of Nigerians, particularly through targeted programs aimed at reducing poverty and empowering the youth.
He called on citizens to remain patient as the government continues to navigate through these challenging times, assuring them that their sacrifices would not be in vain.

Sanwo-Olu Promises to Improve Traffic with New AI Powered Technology

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has made it clear that his government will not tolerate any form of assault on officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA). Speaking through his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, at the Second Lagos Traffic Conference on Tuesday, the governor said anyone caught attacking traffic officers will be made to face the law.
The event, held in honour of LASTMA’s 25th anniversary, brought together key stakeholders to reflect on traffic challenges and explore new solutions under the theme: “Enhancing Traffic Efficiency and Safety on Lagos Roads: Challenges, Opportunities, and Innovations.”
Sanwo-Olu praised the efforts of LASTMA officers who he said work in tough, often dangerous conditions to keep Lagos roads under control. He acknowledged their sacrifices and dedication, saying their presence is the thin yellow line between traffic order and chaos.
“I truly commend every LASTMA officer for your courage and commitment. You’ve stayed strong even when the job puts you at risk, and that speaks volumes about your dedication,” he said. He also paid respects to officers who died in the line of duty, calling them heroes whose sacrifices would always be remembered.
Looking ahead, Sanwo-Olu shared plans to modernize LASTMA with technology that fits today’s traffic demands. He said the government would increase investment in smart systems such as AI-powered tools, automatic number plate recognition, and drone surveillance. These tools, he explained, will make it easier to monitor traffic in real time, respond quickly to incidents, and improve the overall movement of vehicles across Lagos.
