Most Nigerians have Ideas to Move the Country Forward, but the Critical Problem is the Capacity to get Things Done – Yemi Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said on Thursday in Abuja that time has come for Nigerians to transform brilliant ideas into reality in order to achieve the desired objectives.

Osinbajo spoke when he received a delegation of Nigerian Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) who attended the Indian Manufacturing Conclave – an industrial conference – last month in New Delhi, India. He said that Nigerians have never lacked ideas.

“Almost all of us are certain about what the country needs to do, but the critical problem is the capacity to get things done. What is important is what we do with all the ideas,” the vice president said.

Osinbajo was briefed on the conference’s experiences from the trip shared by members of the delegation on different sectors of the economy, such as power and energy, ICT, maritime, financing, SMEs. The vice president commended the business leaders for their efforts at the event and the visit to his office.

“Nigerians know what to do, but the time has come to really work on getting things done. The problem has been on how to really get things done,” he told the delegation.

He also called on Nigerians in their different callings and endeavours to work together for the advancement of the country. The vice president also restated government’s determination to encourage ‘Made in Nigeria’ products including electric meters needed for billing.

He also encouraged linkages between federal research agencies and industry in order to develop local technological innovations. The leader of the delegation, Osaro Eghabamen, had commended the government for facilitating a public and private sectors’ collaboration regarding the Conclave in India. This, according to him, enabled the delegation to learn a lot, especially in the areas of ICT, ship building and using SMEs to grow the economy among others.

You are so right.

indirectly telling Nigerians that action is louder than words. just sitting in the comfort of your home and diagnosing Nigeria no epp anybody.

If you have IDEAS and you wait for IDEALS then you wait for ever

You are right VP. And many like bh and their sponsors are also against the state but God pass them

Then you Ogas need to give us the room to showcase our ideas.
Maybe 1 out of a million will save the day.

Including the tribal bigots here? Oh well he said most n not all. He's right

Then the gov't should provide enable environment for those ideas to be useful practically by granting them loans to fulfill those ideas. Not on paper alone

One of the thing we could do is to vote competent leaders no doubt we did that, this is the team to change our sail to a safe harbour. We understand the pains of change things will get messier and frustrating. But the earlier we deal with side effects and focus on the major work that will bring the actual pains of change. All things being equal, if nigeria as the executives and legislators ready to commit all effort to bring change the current crude price will be a clog to the wheel of change and development yet we are wasting so much time chasing rats up and down. I understand the treat the rat may pose later on but i believe a good system will pin point where leakage exist by itself in the name of transparency and accountability.
I can only say this is the best time for FG to make the best of the teeming population of unemployed youth by embarking on projects that will cut across the nation. Reviving the dead water board, road contruction , power transmission/distribution and restructuring the civil service filled of ghost workers and over age.
I hope and pray things turn around for good as soon as the budget made it out of the rats hole.
MAY GOD GUIDE OUR LEADERS RIGHT.
