Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said that it was very important for Nigeria to remain as a nation than to split into parts.
Speaking in Osogbo, Osun State while delivering the eighth convocation lecture of the State University, he said, rather than promoting division, Nigerians should continue to promote unity and togetherness.
He spoke on the theme “Six decades of chequered nationhood: Nigeria still holds the key to Africa’s development.
He emphasized the need for Nigeria to embrace merit over quota in appointments, and also invest in human development capital.
The Vice President said that President Muhammadu Buhari was doing everything possible to lift Nigerians out of poverty.
Osinbajo also said that the Buhari led-administration would continue to fight against corruption to move Nigeria forward.
He said that the menace was fighting back, but declared that its kicks would not deter government’s resolve to flush it.
In his remarks, Governor Gboyega Oyetola, urged the graduating students to be good ambassadors of the university wherever they found themselves.
