Journalism today is a mess, easily misleading. Osinbajo never called for two years suspension of NYSC as @Mobilepunch put it this morning. ESC only suggested suspension of orientation camping to avoid spread of Covid19.

It is in this administration that you will benefit from a program or initiative without knowing anybody at the top.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday said the country should start a discussion on how to ramp up capacity to be able to manufacture vaccines locally.

Nigeria – and most African countries – has been largely left stranded as countries such as the US, UK, Russia, and China roll-out mass vaccination programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The country is expected to take delivery of some 100,000 vaccine shots by the end of January, but that is a drop in the ocean, in relation to the population.

Nigeria is estimated to be home to over 200 million people.

“We are at a point where we can gain tremendously as a people from this pandemic and a lot of what has been said will really help in putting this in perspective for us as government, so we can actually go out and resolve many of these problems and improve the environment for ourselves, and for the coming generations in particular,” Osinbajo said, as quoted in a statement released by his media aide, Laolu Akande.

The Vice President continued: “I think that we must be talking now about local vaccine production, improving the training of laboratory scientists, and generally improving our capacity to respond in various ways.

“We must really focus on the opportunities that this period really gives us. What I have noticed is that unless something like this happens, we are very frequently relaxed and just hope for the best. I think we are in a position now where we can do a lot. In fact, there is an opportunity to do more in terms of government funding.

“So, I think this is a major responsibility for us, the government, at this time, to really look at how we can, at least, do much better in terms of preparing young men and women for the challenges ahead. This point was also made about the quality of laboratory scientists and the quality of medical personnel and paramedics and all that.”

I don't know why you people keep comparing Osinbajo with Pence, Is Nigeria America?
Are we govern by the same Constitution?
As far as Osinbajo is concerned, he is doing everything according to his constitutional power.

The post is for the matured mind not a mere person like you, so keep shut.

Fahdiga:
A mere commissioner doing eye service to deceive the gullibles

Nigerians must appreciate this man for good plans he has for us most especially the youths. Bringing Google, Microsoft, Facebook and others to Nigeria is a great idea.

It's a privilege to have Osinbajo in power, he has been the forefront of bringing Google, Microsoft and HAUWEI to Nigeria tech.

This will be the first administration that will see to the affairs of small scale business owners. At least some of them have access to loan, business registration fee reduced.

Osinbajo the man of the people

NIGERIA IS STRONGER TOGETHER OSINBAJO SAYS AT ARMED FORCES REMEMBRANCE SERVICE

*VP pays tribute to Nigeria’s military heroes and heroines

Despite differences in religion, ethnicity, political affiliations, or other diversities, Nigerians of all generations and from all walks of life must endeavour to commit to ensuring Nigeria’s unity, because the nation is stronger together than apart, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

The Vice President spoke today at the Interdenominational Church Service for the 2021 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration, which held at the National Christian Centre, Abuja, on Sunday.

According to Prof. Osinbajo, who was represented at the Church Service by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha, Nigerians “must at every opportunity insist that every great multi-ethnic and multi-religious nation has, through thick and thin, fought to realize the great dividends of diversity and pluralism.”

He reiterated the need for Nigerians to, as a mark of honour for the sacrifices of the men and women of the Armed Forces show more commitment to the unity of the nation and the task of building a better society.


The VP said, “the struggle to ensure a more perfect federation is a lifelong enterprise to which each generation must resolutely commit.”


While paying tribute to the departed men and women of the nation’s Armed Forces, he observed that their sacrifices embody ultimate patriotism as they laid down their lives in the line of duty.


According to him, “drawn from all across the country, these brave men and women of the Armed Forces have made our nation proud and their lives show us what it means to be patriots. Each one of them reminds us of the timeless words of our national pledge: “to be faithful, loyal and honest, to serve Nigeria with all our strength, to defend her unity and uphold her honour and glory.”


He noted that the departed heroes and heroines of the Armed Forces “fought to preserve the freedom of the nations of the world from totalitarianism in the First and Second World Wars; to keep our Nation and its people as one in the Civil War."


Continuing, the VP praised the members of the Armed Forces adding that they "laid down their lives in peacekeeping operations on the continent and elsewhere, paid the ultimate price in the fight against the mindless terrorism in the North East, and in defending this land from other threats to security.


"It is to the memories of these heroes and heroines that we pledge in the words of our National anthem: that “the labours of our heroes past shall never be in vain.

“That promise that their blood, spilled on the field of battle, will not be wasted, is the burden that we, the living, bear. And it is an onerous one indeed.”


In his tribute to the departed members of the Armed Forces, the VP recalled the heroism of the late Ms. Tolulope Arotile, who made history in October 2019, when she was winged as Nigeria’s first female combat helicopter pilot in the 55 years of existence of the Nigerian Air Force.


He said, “although her young life was cut short in very unfortunate circumstances, Tolulope lived her dream to join the Nigerian military and along with colleagues from all parts of this nation, to defend the territorial integrity, peace and security of this nation.


Prof. Osinbajo noted the nation will always be grateful and proud of the continuing commitment of our young men and women to serving in the Armed Forces.

He said “this occasion is also one where we celebrate, honour and pray for the families, relations and loved ones of our fallen heroes, those who daily bear the pain and deprivation of their absence. On behalf of Mr. President and the Federal Government, we once again extend our sincere condolences to you. We pray that the Lord will comfort you and uphold you daily.”

This is a lesson to many people outside there who still believe Covid19 is not real. Follow the NCDC to remain safe.

This is a nice development

Osinbajo is a Prof of law, he knows why a leader should act according to constitution of the country. Many don't know this that what Pence did was in accordance with provision of law and construction of America. So there is no reason for comparison.

Osinbajo is leader who works according to the Constitution of our land. Comparing him with Mike Pence is a big error. He carries out his duties just as laid down by the Constitution.

We will see them taking it, then the masses later.

When comparing Osinbajo with Pence is misleading. Pence as the president of Senate in America acted under his constitutional power. Osinbajo also demonstrated his power when he was acting as the president.

Emir of Daura commends Osinbajo for loyalty, honesty to Buhari.

https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/emir-of-daura-commends-osinbajo-for-loyalty-honesty-to-buhari/8g1d33m

Osinbajo has no constitutional power as the vice president to remove service chief, except for the fact that the president is not around and he is acting as the president.

There have been testimonies about this..

Highly commendable.

Woke with his sweet talks just to win people's hearts to himself. What has he done to the state sef if we are to go by money pumping to the region.

As he forgotten that his party PDP created this problem in the first place??

Some people are so daft to the extent of believing a story like this.

Just three months taste of Osinbajo as acting president of this country shows he has a lot to deliver for Nigeria if elected as the president.

Let the good work continue
