Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has listed steps state governments must take to avoid economic crisis, requiring Federal Government’s intervention again.

A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, on Wednesday quoted Osinbajo as giving the ways out during an interactive session he held with Nigerians based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The Vice President said the state governments  must do more to increase internally generated revenue.

He also urged  them to put workers salaries in the first line charge in their expenditure.

Besides, he stated the need for states to clean up their payrolls to ensure that ghost workers were eliminated.

Another plan he disclosed is to ensure that all state governments have a vibrant Debt Management Office, while ensuring a general atmosphere of transparency and accountability in their public expenditures.

Osinbajo told the gathering that a new Nigeria was emerging, which would require the commitment of all Nigerians.

He said, “There is so much hope and expectations. A new Nigeria is happening, we are going to see a new Nigeria.

“The reason why I am so convinced is because everyone of us, one way or the other, believe that there should be a change.

“I am not saying those who voted for President Muhammadu Buhari and myself only, even if it was the other government, everyone of us expected some kind of change.”

Osinbajo said Nigeria deserved the best and did not deserve what it had got for so many years.
