Prof Yemi Osinbajo

Indeed a great steps taking by Buhari/Osinbajo on truck along Apapa another appreciate for taskforce workers

Not many things excites me in Nigeria nowadays especially with the COVID-19 pandemic crumbling my business and that of many others with attendant restrictions and lockdown.

Before COVID, we had been calling for an alternative resolution court for business related disputes. It is simply unhealthy for businesses to be held up by lingering court cases.

I recall a friend once had a court battle with a commercial bank over repayment of loan, this case lasted like forever,
the goods he imported was stuck and depreciating at the port because of court order, biko, what sense does that make? At the end, both parties lost, this is one of many cases I am privy to and I can tell you that none of the cases ended well.

But when I saw that Prof. Osinbajo was setting up the Alternative Dispute Resolution for business, I was delighted ,because this is definitely the beginning of the end of long delayed court hearings,even though I don't know how it will be run, I'm just certain that this will be easier, faster and more like a mobile court, take for example, the case I sighted up there, the court will most likely tell my friend to clear his goods while a refinancing is worked out with the bank.In this case both parties win,as we say in business, it is a win-win situation.

We are truly blessed to have VP Osinbajo, like they it is the "smallest things that matters" and these small stuffs is what he takes note of and tries to fix it as well. When business environment was becoming unbearable he jumped in on it to make it better, now he is here again to give an alternative business dispute resolution all just to make the business environment hitch free.

Alternative dispute resolution is the way forward and we must promote it because it will be time friendly, pocket friendly and easier,i believe nobody has the energy to go through long court processes and again we don't want people who will be taking bribe to give judgement in favour of one person because this will kill this beautiful initiative.

We just need honest people with integrity to oversee these disputes.

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE
OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT


Young federal parliamentarians commend VP’s interaction with youths in wake of protests

Engagement with the Nigerian youths has to be transparent and honest in order to build a progressive society and nation, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

This, according to him, was why the implementation of the Buhari administration’s Social Investment Programmes (SIPs) were not done on the basis of sharing slots between public officials or political chieftains, but in a manner whereby Nigerians who knew no one could benefit and did benefit.

The Vice President stated this on Tuesday when he received, on a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa, the executive committee of the Young Parliamentarians Forum led by its Chairman, Hon. Representative Karu Simon Elisha from Kebbi State.

According to Prof. Osinbajo who was asked by the President to coordinate the SIPs at its commencement in 2016, “the first problem was everybody wanted a slot. I resisted it. Why? If I do that, we will destroy the programmes because majority of Nigerians don’t know people who will take the slots.”

He continued: “It was not that one was being purist, but if young people can’t get the benefit except they know someone then we have failed the young people.”

Recalling how the President responded to the implementation of the SIPs, which was done openly giving everyone an equal opportunity to benefit, the Vice President said “one day the President called me that he was listening to BBC Hausa Service and he heard two young men-beneficiaries of N-Power – saying they didn’t know anybody but were being paid the N30, 000 monthly stipends. The President said that is what shows we are making a difference.

“And everywhere we went during the 2019 campaigns, we had these young people organizing themselves coming out supporting us,” the Vice President recalled.

“If people know they count, then they can trust us and they won’t destroy because they have a stake. Otherwise, people will never trust us,” he submitted, insisting that political leaders must make sacrifices in order to win the trust of the people.

Acknowledging that there are indeed important issues to be addressed, while noting the crucial place of youths in building a successful nation, Prof. Osinbajo said the youths are not just a demography but they are in the majority, stating that “what we need to do for that vast majority is what we must do for our country. We must find a way so they are represented as effectively as possible.”

He welcomed the support of the House of Representatives members for the newly formed National Economic Council (NEC) committee set up yesterday to interface with youths, and other stakeholders on issues of employment, social safety-nets and national unity.

On his part, the leader of the delegation, Hon. Elisha, commended the Vice President’s sincere interaction with the youths over the years and especially in the wake of the #EndSARS protests across the country and called for improved interaction between youths and leaders at all levels.

In his contribution at the meeting, Hon. Luke Onofiok, from Akwa Ibom State also commended the courage exhibited by the Vice President in honestly addressing issues in the wake of the nationwide protests.

He said “we appreciate the messages you sent to the youth during the protests. It doused tensions. You did the job of John the Baptist for the President ahead of his speech to the nation.”

The Federal legislator, a PDP member, added that “we want to thank you for the sincere and transparent communication.” He then called for a bi-partisan approach to address the fallouts of the youth protests.

Other members of the forum at the meeting include Hon. Hafiz Ibrahim Kawu, Tarauni Federal Constituency (Kano State); Hon. Kabiru Tukura, Zuru/Fakai/Sakaba/D/Wasagu Federal Constituency (Kebbi State); Hon. Saidu Musa Abdullahi, Bida/Gbako/Katcha Federal Constituency (Niger State); Hon. Taiwo Oluga, Ayedaade/Irewole/Isokan Federal Constituency (Osun State); Hon. Shina Abiola-Peller, Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency (Oyo State).

Elisha represents Kaltungo/Shongom Federal Constituency in Gombe State while Onofiak is from Etinan/Nsit Ibom/Nsit Ubium Federal Constituency in Akwa Ibom State.
