Shettima Urges Governors on Economic Growth | Senate Approves E-Transmission | 2026

Описание: Nigeria’s Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged governors, ministers, and government agencies to pursue inclusive economic growth that directly improves the lives of Nigerians. Shettima made the call in Abuja while delivering the keynote address at the National Economic Council (NEC) Conference, a strategic retreat of governors and key stakeholders focused on strengthening national economic coordination and accelerating sustainable development.

The Vice President stressed that government efforts would remain incomplete unless economic progress translates into dignity, opportunity, and hope for citizens across the country.

Meanwhile, the Senate has approved the electronic transmission of election results to INEC’s IReV portal, while allowing manual collation as a backup where technology fails. The decision followed a reconsideration of a disputed clause in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill, though lawmakers stopped short of making real-time transmission mandatory.

In a related development, the Court of Appeal in Abuja affirmed the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, ruling that the Senate acted within its constitutional powers.

Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi joined protesters at the National Assembly Complex to oppose the Senate’s decision to remove real-time result transmission, warning that the move could undermine electoral transparency ahead of the 2027 general elections.
