Bridging the Gap: VP Shettima’s Push for Stronger FG-Traditional Institutions Ties
In a move to foster national unity and development, Vice President Kashim Shettima has emphasized the need for stronger ties between the Federal Government and traditional institutions. During a recent visit to the Ningi Emirate in Bauchi State, Shettima reaffirmed the President Bola Tinubu administration’s commitment to engaging royal fathers as key stakeholders in national development and social cohesion.
Shettima’s call for stronger ties is a step in the right direction, as traditional institutions play a vital role in maintaining national unity, societal stability, and preserving cultural heritage. By working together, the government and traditional institutions can leverage their collective wisdom and influence to address the country’s challenges and promote development.
The Vice President’s visit to Bauchi State was a testament to the importance of traditional institutions in Nigeria’s development. Shettima’s praise for the late Emir of Ningi, HRH Alhaji Yunusa Muhammed DanYaya, and his congratulations to the newly installed Emir, HRH Alhaji Haruna Yunusa Danyaya, demonstrated the government’s commitment to engaging with traditional rulers.
As Nigeria navigates its complexities, Shettima’s push for stronger FG-traditional institutions ties is a beacon of hope. By bridging the gap between the government and traditional institutions, Nigeria can tap into the wisdom and experience of its royal fathers to build a more united and prosperous nation.
