Vice-President-Yemi-Osinbajo
By DAVID IORJA, Abuja –
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors agreed on Tuesday to engage the pressing issues of the nation’s economy and protracted Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike with a view to bringing urgent resolution for the benefit of the Nigerian people.
This followed an brief interaction between the APC Governors and Prof Osinbajo when they visited him at the State House, Presidential Villa, Abuja, during which important national issues were also raised especially regarding the economy and the ASUU strike.
The visit of the governors was to felicitate with the Vice President as he recovers from the surgery done last month.
While welcoming the Governors, Prof. Osinbajo expressed his appreciation for the visit and the good wishes.
The VP also commended the expertise of Nigerian doctors, and the availability of cutting-edge medical facilities existing in the country. But he regretted that doctors are restrained by regulations from advertising and as a result many people are unaware of the level of quality medical services available locally.
According to the Vice President “we all need to work together on these critical issues. We need to think through things, and we need to do it fast.”
Present at the meeting were Governors, Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State; Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State; Simon Lalong of Plateau State; Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State; Muhammad Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa State; Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara; Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger State; Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State; Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa, and the deputy governor of Ebonyi State, Kelechi Igwe.
