Vice President Kashim Shettima has charged the newly appointed Board of Directors of the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) to diversify the nation’s investment portfolio in order to support key sectors of the economy.
Shettima reminded the company board members of their role as custodians of the collective patrimony of the people of Nigeria.
Speaking during a meeting with the Board of Directors of the NSIA at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Vice President Shettima outlined the administration’s vision for the NSIA, drawing comparisons with more established sovereign wealth funds.
Assuring the board of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s full support in achieving national aspirations, VP Shettima emphasised the critical need for teamwork.
Chairman of the NSIA Board of Directors, Segun Ogunsanya, said the visit became necessary to enable members of the Board to introduce themselves to the Vice President.
He thanked VP Shettima and all members of the National Economic Council, saying they treasure the confidence the Council has reposed in the Board.
Ogunsanya said members of the NSIA Board of Directors were looking forward to submitting their last audited accounts to NEC, and then sharing what the NSIA has done and what it intends to do going forward.
