Shettima Seeks Deeper Interfaith Collaboration to Strengthen Peace and National Unity

Nigeria’s Vice President Kashim Shettima urged religious leaders and faith-based organisations to deepen cooperation to promote peaceful coexistence, national unity and economic development. He spoke at the Presidential Villa in Abuja while receiving the Community and Youth Development National Network, an Islamic coalition that also operates an interfaith platform with Christian leaders. Shettima called on the group to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic reforms, which he described as necessary despite their difficulties, and to foster dialogue and improve citizens’ welfare.
