Acting President Yemi-Osinbajo

“Every time we say come back next week to someone for something we can do today, we postpone prosperity of one person, but in reality, we postpone the prosperity of so many who would have earned something from the business. So, every time that a public officer is an obstacle to business in any way, he attacks the prosperity of our economy and he attacks our future because it means our children cannot find jobs.”

–Acting President Yemi Osinbajo
