During a high-level meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Shettima unveiled a partnership with the Nutrition Society of Nigeria (NSN) to address the country’s pressing nutritional challenges. He emphasized the need for constructive action over protests.
Acknowledging the country’s difficult times, Shettima stressed the importance of focusing on solutions rather than protests.

“I wish to call on you to advocate for diplomacy, engagement, and patience. The President is very much committed to the Nigerian project but it’s like a percolation project. When a woman is giving birth, it’s a very painful process but once the child is delivered, it is a cause for celebration.”
