His conflict resolution skills rid the Niger Delta of the habitual tension caused by militants in 2017.

His sense of diplomacy settled what was to become a rift between the FG and the S/West State Governors over Amotekun.

His efficient management of PEBEC saw Nigeria move 15 places up on the Word Bank Doing Business index; a historic advancement.

The Ogoni community clean-up he inaugurated on behalf of the President is restoring normalcy to a land that was once excessively oil-infested…

I can go on and on; from the National Social Investment Programmes to NEMA to PEBEC to Niger Delta Power Holding Company to National Council on Skills to Committee on Small Arms and Light Weapons, to mention a few.

I’m talking about Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. He is the guy who gets the job done and the guy to call upon when it is a Herculean task. He has a clear track record of completing and executing the difficult task and he has earned the trust of the nation with his administrative skills.

Again, he has been appointed to head the Power Sector Reform Coordination Working Group, a committee that will determine the nature and extent of state governments’ ownership of distribution companies and address mismanagement and other challenges afflicting power sector reforms.

Knowing his history of getting things done and seeing how Nigerians just recently showered praises on him using a #OsinbajoTheFixer hashtag on Twitter, I think our Power Sector is in itself about to experience the power of The Fixer!

I have had my reservations about the power sector especially at a time when climate change has made the heat unbearable. His appointment has brought me succor and I think a lot of Nigerians will be thinking and feeling the same.

I expect a change in fortunes for the power sector particularly because he has championed the cause of entrepreneurs’ success and the need for constant power generation and distribution. Nigerians don’t need to hold their breath; the fixer is on top of it.


‘Dayo Peters writes from Abuja

Even the Holy Bible says 'the gift of a man will make way for him" Osinbajo is endowed with different gifts, ideas, skills that can promote this country, he has been doing it, and we believe he can still do better. #OsinbajoTheFixer

He is success personified

He's the man for Nigerians, he tried all he could to keep Nigeria growing. We should appreciate the one that does the job without blemish

Considering his antecedents in handling emergency assignments, one would expect the working group to help provide workable solutions on how to improve baseline power supply from end to end users.

He's that man for this country Nigeria, and he's the problem solver. We should appreciate his good did.

Osinbajo the fixer

Let us watch and see the Midas touch work in the power sector, just like he has produced results in many presidential initiatives from 2015 till date.

God has blessed us with this man in this nation. His leadership skills is out of this world!

We know him, we trust his capabilities, he is the best man for the task and soon Nigerians will begin to see positive changes

He is just the one we need in this country no doubt

With already a production capacity of 12,000 megawatt but a max distribution of about 5200 megawatt, the table is about to turn.
When @OsinbajoTheFixer trended last week, there was a full on expose as to the actions the VP had succeeded in as well as those he's championing.
It is only certain that Prof Osinbajo is about to add the scalp of the power sector to his already many conquest and Nigerians can only be better for it.
