The former senator maintained that the committee needed to fast-track the repositioning of "our economy" by addressing some fundamental issues relating to the fiscal and tax policies.

These, according to him, are important to the realisation of the economic growth of any country.

Shettima further stated that Nigeria has been chained with bad governance and confronted with many challenges.

He, however, expressed confidence in President Bola Tinubu, whom he described as courageous, committed, and progressive.

His tweet reads in part:

“I believe you will come up with a roadmap to salvage our nation, we are in a big mess, but I have confidence in your team. This is a great nation chained by poor governance, chained by many challenges, and my principal is a man of courage and conviction; he is a progressive man in the Nigerian political space.”
