VP Osinbajo admits Nigeria still far behind in poverty eradication.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has admitted that the
country is far behind in the race to eradicate poverty.
He added that the reason for this was that there were
no systematic and focused approaches to eradicating
poverty in Nigeria.
Osinbajo made this comment while speaking at the
second Abiola Ajimobi roundtable programme to mark
the 70th birthday of the former governor of Oyo State.
He delivered a speech on the topic: “Managing the
Dynamics of Nigeria’s Advancement: The Socio-
Economic options.”
He said “there are two issues and I’m glad that by the
response of discussants, the two issues stood out.
One is the environment for local and foreign
investments and second is eradicating poverty.”
