The
Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, has said that Nigeria is fast moving toward
becoming one of the 16 largest economies in the world.
Mr. Osinbajo made the statement on Tuesday at
the palace of the Emir of Gusau, Ibrahim Bello, as part of his one-day visit to
Zamfara.
He said the target could be achieved through
unity and hardwork by Nigerians.
Mr. Osinbajo said the unity of Nigerians was
paramount to the economic growth of the country.
He said: “Our diversity as a people united is
also our potential to transform our large deposits of mineral resources and use
same for national development.’’
The acting president commended the effort of security
agencies in the country in maintaining law and order.
While receiving the acting president, Mr. Bello
thanked him for accepting all invitations to the state, adding: “You are now a
son of the soil.”
The emir commended the federal government for
deploying security officials to maintain peace in Zamfara.
He said
since the deployment gunmen attacks, cattle rustling and kidnapping which
threatened communities had become history.
The acting president was accompanied on the
visit by the governors of Kebbi and Sokoto states, Abubakar Bagudu and Aminu
Tambuwal respectively.
