Vice President Kashim Shettima on Monday said Nigeria’s ambition of building a one-trillion-dollar economy is driven by enterprise, investment and coordinated reforms across all levels of government.

Speaking on Monday when he declared open the Invest Lagos 3.0 Summit held at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, the Vice President said President Bola Tinubu had borne the consequences of making “painful” economic decisions in the interest of the country.

Shettima said the country’s economic future depends on creating conditions that allow capital, innovation and productive enterprise to thrive.

He particularly identified Lagos State as the clearest demonstration of how subnational leadership can accelerate national economic transformation.

The VP praised President Tinubu for laying the foundation of the Lagos development model, describing it as a governance tradition that has created continuity and positioned the state as a continental economic force.
