The Vice President, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo, has posited that if those in government desist from stealing the
nation's resources, life will be better in Nigeria and the citizens would live
well.
Osinbajo disclosed this in
Osogbo, Osun state capital during the flagged-off of the Government Enterprises
and Empowerment Programme (GEEP).
He maintained that under
President Buhari's administration, there is no room for anyone to steal and use
public resources to satisfy personal greed.
He affirmed the determination of
the president to empower Nigerians. He said the ruling All Progressive Congress
(APC) came into the power because ordinary people on the streets gave it
overwhelming support in their quest for good governance.
According to him, "we owe
our being in government to Nigerians on the streets. They supported us and
brought us here. Our government will continue to work very hard to support them
by making available resources to boost their businesses. We will be prudent.
Ours is a government that does not steal."
Speaking on the occasion,
Governor Rauf Aregbsola said for serious-minded people ready to do business,
his administration and government at the centre would do everything possible to
enhance ease of doing business in order to boost the economic capacity of the
society.
Aregbesola said, “For those ready
to do business, there are abundant opportunities to create wealth. I urge
citizens of the state to key into GEEP to improve their businesses.”
Also speaking, the state
Commissioner for Commerce, Industries and Cooperatives, Mr. Ismaila
Jayeoba-Alagbada said the main objective of GEEP, an initiative of federal
government, is in tandem with the various socio-economic intervention
programmes of the state.
Jayeoba-Alagbada said further
that the state under the leadership of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in collaboration
with Central Bank of Nigeria through the State Micro Credit Agency disbursed a
sum of N3.5b to over 33,000 people.
