Vice President Kashim Shettima on Friday charged state governments to translate the optimism of Nigerians into real prosperity in homes and communities.
Shettima made the call during the National Economic Council (NEC) meeting attended by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Vice President, who is the Chairman of NEC, reminded state governors that the measure of governance lies in the tangible improvement of citizens’ lives rather than rhetoric.
He said: “The measure of government is not in speeches delivered; it is in the lives improved.”
Shettima reiterated the President Tinubu administration’s shift from reactive crisis management to proactive planning.
He commended the Katsina Sustainable Platform for Agriculture (KASPA), a state-driven digital agriculture model designed to modernise service delivery and improve farmers’ access to data, markets, and climate information.

“Earlier this week, at the invitation of His Excellency, Governor Dikko Radda of Katsina, I was in the state.
” One of the progressive projects we launched is the Katsina Sustainable Platform for Agriculture, known as KASPA.
” It is a scalable framework for digital governance, farmer inclusion, and climate-smart productivity ready for sub-national adoption,” he added.
The platform, he said, reflected the council’s broader commitment to technology-enabled governance and inclusive agricultural growth that cuts across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Shettima commended governors, ministers, and the members of the council for sustaining NEC as a platform of trust, cooperation, and policy innovation.
