Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after performing the lesser hajj (Umrah) at the Holy Mosque of Makkah (Masjid al-Haram) in Saudi Arabia.

During his time at the sacred site, the Vice President offered prayers for Nigeria’s peace, stability, and social harmony.

“Our prayer is for peace to prevail in our land. May Allah grant our nation peace and social harmony,” he said.

In addition to praying for the country’s well-being, VP Shettima also made supplications for Nigeria’s leadership at all levels, from the federal to local governments.

Before embarking on the spiritual journey, the Vice President represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the commissioning of a $315 million oil production and storage facility owned by Oriental Energy Limited (OERL) in Dubai, UAE.
