Vice President Kashim Shettima has left Abuja for Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to represent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the inauguration of a $315 million oil production and storage facility owned by Nigerian firm, Oriental Energy Ltd. The commissioning, scheduled for December 14, highlights the achievements of indigenous companies in the global oil and gas sector.
The state-of-the-art facility is considered a major milestone for Nigeria’s oil industry, emphasizing the growing international presence of local enterprises. Vice President Shettima’s attendance reaffirms the government’s support for businesses driving economic growth both locally and abroad.
Following his engagement in Dubai, Shettima will travel to Saudi Arabia from December 16 to 19 to perform the lesser hajj (Umrah) in the holy cities of Madinah and Makkah.
On December 20, the Vice President is set to meet with the President of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) in Jeddah. Discussions will center on co-financing for the second phase of Nigeria’s Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones (SAPZ) and improving coordination on existing IsDB projects across the country.
These activities align with the Tinubu administration’s broader agenda to enhance economic growth, strengthen agricultural productivity, and foster international partnerships for sustainable development.
