Vice-President Kashim Shettima has embarked on an official trip from Abuja to the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

He is set to represent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at an event marking the inauguration and naming of a state-of-the-art oil production and storage facility, which boasts a substantial investment of $315 million.

This facility was built by a Nigerian-owned oil and gas company, Oriental Energy Ltd.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Office of the Vice-President, Stanley Nkwocha, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
