Osinbajo leading light for other vice presidents in Africa: LCCI
The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has described Yemi Osinbajo as a leading light for other vice presidents in Africa and beyond.
Michael Olawale-Cole, LCCI’s Deputy President, expressed this view while delivering a vote of thanks for the participation of the vice president at the 2021 LCCI Presidential Policy Dialogue on Friday in Lagos.
Mr Olawale-Cole said Mr Osinbajo had supervised the implementation of key interventions of the federal government across education, health, agriculture and manufacturing, among other sectors of the economy.
He acknowledged Mr Osinbajo’s clarity of thoughts and ideas in the management of the economy.
“You are a worthy vice president of our country and a fantastic leader of this nation and we are very glad to have you in our midst today.
“We are glad that you have shown yourself to be a leading light for other vice presidents in Africa.
“Your expertise, foresight and prudence have been very evident in the results of the good works that are spread across this nation. You are a pride of this nation, pride of Africa,” he said.
He commended Mr Osinbajo’s leadership of the Economic Sustainability Plan and other interventions that mitigated the impact of COVID-19 on the economy.
Other speakers at the event were Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, LCCI’s President Toki Mabogunje, and Abimbola Ogunbanjo, Nigeria Exchange Group Chairman.
Mr Osinbajo had earlier spoken about Nigeria’s economic trajectory, detailing the efforts by the federal government to sustain the positive momentum with two consecutive quarters of growth despite challenges.
