The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Jibrin Barau, has extolled the virtues of the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, on the occasion of his 57th birthday.
Senator Barau, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, said the Vice President, who was born in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, on September 2, 1966, has made indelible progressive marks in both the private and public spheres of the country, to the admiration of all.
“As a banker, he was one of the high flyers in the industry before delving into the political scene, where he is contributing immensely to the entrenchment of democracy in the country.
“He raised the bar in governance during his tenure as governor of Borno State between 2011 and 2019, despite the security challenges in the state at that time. Also, as chairman of the Senate Committee on Interior (2019–2023), he worked tirelessly to address the challenges facing agencies under his committee,” he stated.
