I remember when the office came up with an initiative, which is currently in the pipeline — a fulcrum for policy research and innovation. The team and I joked that there’s no need to reach out to external hands or consultants to bring this to life because almost everyone around the Vice President is hugely cerebral. The team seems like an aggregation of the soundest minds from the Big 4 — alumni of which are in the office — from PWC, down through Deloitte, to KPMG.
Even as Vice President, Senator Shettima’s remarkable humility is evident in how, at public fora, he always refers to his predecessor, Governor Babagana Zulum, whom he appointed as his Commissioner and who succeeded him in Borno State, as his boss. This deference might seem unusual given his own high office, but it underscores his genuine respect even for those beneath him.
Ahead of his 58th birthday, as he has always done, Vice President Kashim Shettima advised against paid publications in celebration of his new age in a signed statement. I am not surprised, however, that this advice fell on deaf ears. This, however, is a free space to celebrate this cerebral bookworm whose memory retention capacity, voracity in reading, and humility in dealing with his aides and colleagues have always left me, and the guests at all his meetings and encounters, amused.
