Nigeria's Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has revealed the problem of extreme poverty in Nigeria gives him sleepless nights. .
.
Osinbajo lamented at a dinner and interactive session with faculty members of the Harvard Business School (HBS) on Tuesday, in Lagos.
.
.
His words:, “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.
.
.
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.
.
.
If you are going to do business anywhere in Africa, it has to be Nigeria. This is where you have the energy; you have the drive.
.
.
We are already seeing that kind of activity; business people will always be driven by profit.
.
.
Talent will always go in the direction where it is best rewarded; one can’t afford to be sentimental about that.
.
.
As people see that the environment is getting better for business, they will come back; the opportunities for making huge profits are here.
.
.
Practically everything we are doing in to ensure that there is an environment for business to thrive. People are leaving but people are coming back.’’
