Nigeria’s Vice President Kashim Shettima has been lauded for his wisdom and mentorship style of leadership as he marks his 57th birthday. The accolades pouring in from political allies and mentees across Nigeria reflect the unique qualities that define his leadership.
Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, took to social media to offer his heartfelt congratulations to the Vice President, emphasizing Shettima’s role as a great and humble mentor. In a touching Facebook post, Governor Zulum praised Shettima for his distinctive mentorship style, one that empowers mentees to forge their own identities as leaders.
“I once read a quotation attributed to Steven Spielberg which said: ‘The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves,'” wrote Governor Zulum.
In a world where mentorship often revolves around molding individuals to fit a predetermined mold, Shettima’s approach is refreshingly different. He has, according to Governor Zulum, provided rare opportunities for his mentees to independently shape their leadership identities, ultimately benefiting the people of Borno State and beyond.
As Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima has seamlessly blended his experiences and wisdom to impact millions of lives positively. Kano State Governor Alhaji Abba Kabiru Yusuf has hailed Shettima as a gentleman of proven integrity, intellect, and wisdom. His visionary and exemplary leadership, demonstrated during his two-term tenure as governor of Borno State, has left an indelible mark on the nation.
Governor Yusuf expressed confidence in Shettima’s capacity to continue contributing significantly to the country’s development. He praised the Vice President’s ability to rise above previous feats, expecting even greater contributions in the years to come.
In his felicitation message, Governor Yusuf wished Vice President Shettima good health and divine guidance in all his endeavors, recognizing the renewed foresight, commitment, and patriotism that define his character.
