While Tinubu was on vacation, Shettima engaged in several diplomatic duties, most notably his trip to Sweden, where he pursued international cooperation for Nigeria.

Sources indicate that Shettima also updated the president on his canceled mission to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Samoa, Nigeria Television Authority reported.

The vice president’s trip was aborted last Thursday, 24 October, after his aircraft encountered a mid-journey mishap at JFK Airport in New York, where a foreign object hit the cockpit windscreen, making it unsafe to continue to Samoa.

During Shettima’s time abroad, President Tinubu enacted significant changes within his cabinet.

The president relieved five ministers from their roles, reassigned ten others, and appointed seven new ministers, subject to Senate confirmation.

This reshuffle is widely viewed as a strategic move to strengthen the administration’s delivery on its national agenda, This Day reported.
