Utilize home-grown innovation, Osinbajo tells private sector

The Vice-President of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, has beckoned on key players in the private sector to take advantage of home-grown innovations.

He opined it is necessary for the private sector to tap fully into the innovative capacity of Nigerians.

Osinbajo made this statement at the 25th Nigerian Economic Summit Group which was held in Abuja.

Speaking on the theme “Securing our future: The fierce urgency of now”, Professor Osinbajo called on the private sector to take advantage of untapped resources – especially the youth – the nation has to offer.

He said, “I think we must focus on what this country has to offer in terms of all of the resources – both human and natural resources – and also the will, the energy, the innovativeness are all there for the private sector to take.

Osinbajo further stated that a country blessed with both human and natural resources can grow easily.

The VP said, “A country with all that can make growth possible and it’s only a matter of getting things right, moving a few things around, and will be well to the kind of progress to come as a country.”

He said the administration prioritizes implementation of beneficial policies rather than what is politically expedient stating, “We are looking at the fastest way to move from point A to point B.”
