Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has assured Nigerians that the Buhari-led administration is addressing the nation’s challenges to return the country on the right track, saying hunger and poverty caused by the current economic recession would soon be over. Osinbajp spoke yesterday at a national colloquium organized by the Coalition of Nigerian Apostolic Leaders (CNAL) in Lagos. According to Osinbajo, “We are facing one of the most challenging times in the history of our country, especially in the area of the economy. The times are so challenging that sometimes you ask yourself what is really going on, like Pastor Wale Adefarasin asked ‘Is this the change we voted for?’. Osinbajo said the country had over the years, ran a single economic structure driven by crude oil, and 80 percent of the nation’s earnings came from the sale of crude oil. He lamented that huge resources were being expended on importation of food, saying to reverse the trend, about eleven states of the country currently embarked on mass production of rice to ensure that the country achieves self-sufficiency.
