A teenager was allowed to take the seat of Nigerian Vice President Kashim Shettima during a meeting at the Presidency in Abuja on October 21, 2025.
According to a post by Shettima on Facebook, Joy Ogah was part of a PLAN International delegation that he met with at a conference room at the presidency.
“Yesterday at the Presidential Villa, I met with a PLAN International delegation led by its Director of Programme, Quality and Innovation, Helen Mfonobong Idiong.
“During the visit, I also invited a teenager, Joy Ogah, to take over my seat as the Vice President for a day and address the nation. In my remarks, I assured stakeholders and development partners of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to promoting girl-child education across Nigeria,” his post said.
“We will continue our engagement with PLAN International and explore how the force and strength of government can be brought to bear on your solid advice regarding girl-child education,” the post added.
