Kashim Shettima MustaphaGCON (born 2 September 1966) is a Nigerian politician who is the 15th and current vice president of Nigeria.[1][2] He previously served as senator for Borno Central from 2019 to 2023, and as the governor of Borno State from 2011 to 2019.[3]
Born in Maiduguri in 1966, Shettima graduated from the University of Maiduguri and the University of Ibadan. After schooling, he entered business and banking, eventually rising to hold several high-ranking executive positions at banks. By the mid-2000s, Shettima was the manager of Zenith Bank's Maiduguri branch before leaving the position to enter the state cabinet of Governor Ali Modu Sheriff in 2007. After four years in the cabinet, he was elected governor in 2011 and re-elected by a wider margin in 2015; his term in office was dominated by the deadly Boko Haram insurgency. Shettima left office in 2019, and was elected to the senate. Despite being renominated for Senate in 2023, he withdrew from the nomination to become Bola Tinubu's running mate. Kaka-Shehu Lawan replaced him as the senate nominee.[4]
