Vice President Shettima Begins Two-Week Official Leave

Vice President Kashim Shettima has begun a two-week official leave, effective Thursday, August 6. It is his first announced break since taking office in May 2023. His office said the leave will allow him time for study and reflection, including a review of the administration’s programmes and emerging national and global policy issues. Shettima is expected to resume his official duties after the two-week period. The Vice President has continued to support government work in areas including the economy, food security, humanitarian affairs, digital transformation, job creation and regional cooperation.

After more than three years in office, this being his first announced break makes the leave notable.

Study and reflection sound reasonable, but the public will likely judge the value by what follows afterward, not the announcement itself.

The office could make the review more meaningful by later outlining any priorities or lessons that emerge from the leave.
