Tinubu ‘ll replicate his feat in Lagos, Shettima assures

 Vice President Kashim Shettima has assured that President
Bola Tinubu will replicate his feat in Lagos when he held sway as the governor
between 1999 and 2007 at the national level.

 

Shettima, who gave the assurance in Abuja, yesterday, during
the public presentation of two books written by legal icon, Mallam Yusuf Ali,
SAN, stressed the need for improved public-private infrastructure partnerships
in the country.

 

According to him, such collaboration was the key to economic
growth in any country.

 

Delivering his speech titled, “Mallam Yusuf Ali: Enduring
Reflection in Law, History, and Public Policy,” the Vice President stated:
“There is, of course, no politician in the country today who can match
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s experience in both brokering public-private
partnership and understanding what must be done to bridge our infrastructure
gaps.

 

“You only need to gaze into the realities of Lagos State
before and after his progressive leadership as Executive Governor to realise
his spectacular legacy, a skill set he’s again brought into play to reposition
Nigeria as a competitive global player.”

 

Noting that the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda “is built on
the realisation of improved infrastructure as a critical catalyst for “the
nation’s economic growth,” Sen. Shettima pointed out that the projections of
the administration’s sound economic team on revolutionising investment in
infrastructure were in tandem with those of its development partners.

 

“I am here to acknowledge that such a grand vision is the
reason we are exploring innovative funding mechanisms like Public Private
Partnerships, with avenues like the Infrastructure Concessions Regulatory
Commission (ICRC) as testimony to such ambition. The ongoing review of the ICRC
(Establishment ETC) Act, 2005, is telling,” the VP stated.

 

The vice President described the two books, “The Supreme
Court and the Jurisprudence of the Right to Fair Hearing,” and “Public Private
Partnerships: An Essential Guide for Stakeholders,” unveiled today as an
eagle-eyed contribution to the “nation’s pursuit of order and development.”

 

“These books aren’t well-timed solely due to their thematic
interests. They are not being celebrated solely for their interpretation of
paramount aspects of our nation’s journey, nor for a yearning for such
interventions in our collective responsibility to serve the nation. These two
books stand out due to the intellectual and professional pedigree of the
author,” he added.

 

Referring to the author of the two books, Mallam Ali (SAN),
as a friend and brother, VP Shettima also described the learned silk as a
“reservoir of knowledge acquired over decades of sincere engagement with the
legal intricacies of our dear nation.
