Vice President Kashim Shettima has emphasized that the budgeting approach under President Bola Tinubu’s administration is not merely aimed at survival but at fostering economic transformation for sustainable growth.
Speaking at the 15th Mechanical Engineering Distinguished Lecture organized by the Nigerian Institution of Mechanical Engineers in Abuja, Shettima stressed the importance of careful and strategic budgeting, likening it to the precision of engineering.
He explained that just as engineers account for every bolt and beam in a machine, every expenditure in the national budget must be meticulously planned to ensure long-term results. Shettima stated, “We are not just budgeting for survival. We are budgeting for transformation. We are building systems that speak to productivity, sustainability, and progress.”
