Vice President Kashim Shettima on Friday inaugurated the revamped National Economic Council (NEC) Human Capital Development (HCD) Steering Committee, saying the Federal Government reconstituted the committee to reflect the new leadership of the nation and bring all stakeholders together.
Shettima also noted the determination of the President Tinubu administration to bolster labour force participation, even as he issued a fervent call to action.
Delivering his speech titled, “The Burden of Trust in Leadership Transition,” the VP tasked the new committee with the solemn responsibility of delivering tangible progress on the three core pillars of health and nutrition, education, and labour force participation.
He said each phase of their obligation to serve the nation reminded them of the impacts of their choices, pointing out that the current day was no exception.
