He said President Buhari’s government is committed to creating more jobs and improving the country’s economy.
He also stated that more Nigerians will benefit from its Social Investment Programmes which has positively affected the lives of millions of Nigerians.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday night, speaking at a meeting with young Christian leaders in Lagos, Prof. Osinbajo debunked the fake news of his purported resignation being circulated on some social media platforms.
The VP emphasized that he has not resigned his position in the Buhari administration, and escribed the false information as “deliberate propaganda.”
He said, “Today (Wednesday), they’ve been spreading some information around that I’ve resigned. They said I didn’t attend a security meeting yesterday. I was too busy in my office.
“The same security people were meeting with me that same evening. Must I attend every meeting? Can’t the President hold a meeting with the security chiefs without me?
“They said I was so angry that they didn’t bring me to that meeting, that I was excluded, then I resigned! I have not resigned.”
