Vice President Kashim Shettima has charged the newly appointed Board of Directors of the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority, NSIA to diversify the investment portfolio to support key sectors of the economy.
Speaking on Tuesday at a meeting with the Board of Directors of the Organisation at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Vice President Shettima outlined the current administration’s vision for the board, drawing comparisons with more established sovereign wealth funds.
The Vice President stressed the need to support the real economy, particularly highlighting the NSIA’s role in agricultural revitalisation.
He assured the board of President Tinubu’s full support in achieving national aspirations while emphasizing the critical need for teamwork.
Earlier, the Chairman of the NSIA Board of Directors, Mr. Segun Ogunsanya, commended Vice President Shettima and all members of the National Economic Council, saying the confidence the Council has reposed in the Board is treasurable.
He noted that the principles upon which NSIA was founded will remain unchanged.
