Vice-President Kashim Shettima has directed associates and numerous well-wishers across the country not to place congratulatory adverts on his 58th birthday.
The directive was detailed in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Stanley Nkwocha, in Abuja.
Nwokocha said the vice-president appreciates the goodwill, but intends to use the special moment to “reflect and recommit himself to the tenets of responsive and good governance”.
Shettima, therefore, implored friends and associates who may wish to place goodwill messages as advertisements to kindly donate the funds to charity organisations and vulnerable citizens instead.
