Vice President Kashim Shettima on Monday urged transport operators mobilising support for President Bola Tinubu's 2027 re-election bid to keep their nationwide political activities peaceful, responsible and issue-focused. According to Vanguard, Shettima spoke at the inauguration of a support group's nationwide structure, which has set a target of 20 million votes for the Tinubu-Shettima ticket. The event took place in Abuja as early campaigning for Nigeria's next general election gathers pace.

President Bola Tinubu stated that Nigeria is establishing a foundation for prosperity through critical infrastructure projects. He expressed concern over past accidents on the recently repaired Kuje-Gwagwalada road, highlighting the importance of such infrastructure in enhancing safety and development.

Senator Nwaebonyi stated that President Tinubu inherited a poor road infrastructure and is actively addressing this issue by reconstructing existing roads and creating new ones to link the six geo-political zones of Nigeria. This effort aims to tackle the country's infrastructure deficit.

On June 9, 2026, Vice-President Kashim Shettima represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Ekiti to commission the Ado-Ekiti Flyover Bridge, named after Tinubu. This 1.2-kilometre road is part of a series of projects identified by Governor Biodun Oyebanji as his legacy initiatives in Nigerian governance.

Vice President Kashim Shettima said on Monday that reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu's administration across various sectors of the Nigerian economy are helping transform indigenous companies into international brands. According to Shettima, the policy measures are designed to support local businesses in expanding their reach and competitiveness on the global stage. The remarks were reported by Vanguard News, highlighting the administration's emphasis on economic reforms aimed at strengthening homegrown enterprises.

The Federal Government of Nigeria has initiated the rehabilitation of key roads in Borno State, specifically the Bama-Banki Road and Dikwa-Gamboru-Ngala, to enhance trade corridors. According to Shettima, these road projects are expected to stimulate commerce and aid in the post-insurgency recovery of the northeastern region.
