I hardly sleep in the night because of extreme poverty in Nigeria, says Osinbajo

Vice president of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo 

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has said that he hardly sleep in the night because of extreme poverty in Nigeria.

The Vice president stated this at an interactive session with faculty members of the Harvard Business School (HBS) who were in Lagos on Tuesday.

He noted that majority of those who vote for them are the poor Nigerians, assuring them that their lives will be better in a short time.

“I think what keeps me up at night has to do with extreme poverty; the issue is that the largest number of those who vote for us are the very poor,” he said.

“The promises that government makes to them is that their lives will be better and obviously they are looking at their lives being better in the shortest possible time.

“I will like to see Nigeria being an industrialised nation in the next 10 years; a very strong middle class and most people living above poverty line.’’
