The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to unlocking the full value of national assets and attracting global capital.
This is just as the Vice President, Kashim Shettima called for an aggressive expansion of public-private partnerships to drive the nation’s economic ambitions.
The VP made the call while speaking during the first 2026 meeting of the National Council on Privatization (NCP) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja,
According to him, the administration was focused on attracting investment and ensuring that such capital was aligned with national development priorities.
VP Shettima emphasized that the country’s long-standing ambition of becoming a trillion-dollar economy would remain out of reach without a deliberate balance between public enterprise and private sector dynamism.
He also noted that economic prosperity must be intentionally designed and sustained through strong institutions.
The Vice President further urged the Council to accelerate the development of a robust pipeline of bankable projects and increase the use of public-private partnerships as a central tool for economic expansion
