The president, in a release issued on Sunday by his Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, noted that the conferment on Monday, September 8, is a testament to their exemplary service, intellectual depth and commitment to advancing Nigeria’s socio-economic transformation.
He commended Shettima for his visionary leadership, deep insights and relentless dedication to implementing the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly in driving inclusive growth, job creation and sustainable development.
President Tinubu equally applauded renowned economist and director of the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-Four on International Monetary Affairs and Development (G-24), Dr Iyabo Masha, on the honour.

“Your passion, innovation and service to the nation’s economic progress embody the spirit of excellence that our administration celebrates and upholds,” President Tinubu affirmed.
President Tinubu urged the new Fellows to continue leveraging their expertise to support Nigeria’s economic recovery, foster inclusive prosperity, and strengthen its global competitiveness.
He assured them of his administration’s determination to collaborate with experts and institutions to deliver enduring growth and shared opportunities for all Nigerians.
