President Bola Tinubu approves Vice President Kashim Shettima’s first official leave since taking office in 2023. Multiple reports say the leave lasts two weeks and is intended for study and policy review. The announcement is made through a statement in Abuja released by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Stanley Nkwocha. Both outlets describe the leave as Shettima’s first since he assumed office on May 29, 2023. The reports present the decision as part of a planned break to support additional preparation for his vice-presidential duties, rather than responding to any specific incident. The administration does not add further details in the provided excerpts beyond the purpose of the leave and its duration. The start date of the leave is described as beginning on Thursday, with the approval coming from Tinubu. Overall, the coverage aligns on the key points: approval by Tinubu, a two-week timeframe, and the leave’s focus on study and policy review.
