Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that the
current economic downturn in Nigeria would surely
make the people act right, assuring that the
President Muhammadu Buhari's presidency would
ensure that the Nigerian people benefit from the
resources of the nation.

Osinbajo spoke during a courtesy call on him by
the Australian Foreign Affairs Assistant Secretary,
African Branch, Mr. Mathew Neuhaus who was
accompanied by the country's High Commissioner
in Nigeria, Mr. Paul Lehmann.

"it is a difficult time, but we think it is an excellent
opportunity to do right by the people so that our
people are able to get the benefit of the nation's
resources," he said.
He however noted that the presidency was making
appreciable effects in the areas of security,
governance, anti-corruption and the economy.

According to him, there had been a liberalization of
the oil and gas' downstream sector and that the
flexible foreign exchange policy recently put in
place would encourage foreign investment adding
that "we are looking forward to the benefits of the
new foreign exchange policy."

Commending the Australian government for its
"excellent support," in the fight against insurgency
in the Northeast, the Vice President observed that
while significant progress had been recorded by
the military in downgrading Boko Haram, the
challenge now was overcoming the ideology that
motivated terrorist activities.

According to him, "we have already dealt with
Boko Haram militarily. We now have to deal with
the ideology (of terror) and this is something that
the entire world has to also deal with. The
terrorists basically reject any engagement, simply
preaching hate and murder. It is a new kind of
threat, the ideology and motivation is what we-the
global community- have to find a way to deal
with."

A statement by his media Aide, Mr. Laolu Akande
stated that while speaking earlier, Mr. Neuhaus,
who had served as his country's High
Commissioner in Nigeria congratulated the Buhari
administration observing that the presidency is "off
to a good start."

He also praised the steps so far taken by the
administration, some of which he said have not
been "easy," adding that Australia looked forward
to doing more with the government and working
"very closely with Nigeria", in mining and
investment.
