Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi Osinbajo attended the Nigeria Infrastructure Summit held in Houston, Texas in the United States.
The summit was held to discuss how to galvanise foreign investors to help uplift the nation’s infrastructure to boost the economy.
Osinbajo was at a round table with some investors in America where some major moves were made to attract them to Nigeria.
The Vice President took time off to continue the global campaign against Boko Haram insurgency.
In a lecture he delivered at the Harvard University, Boston, in the U.S. on “Destroying Boko Haram and the Rebuilding of Nigeria’s North-East”, he said Buhari presidency had made progress in degrading Boko Haram resulting in the freedom of thousands of Nigerians in Boko Haram captivity, including some of the abducted Chibok girls.
Osinbajo called for a more concerted global action against terrorism and an increasingly effective international collaboration regarding the humanitarian crisis in the North-East.
He focused on regional stability, economic development, interreligious relations, health policy, human rights, justice and gender, while its overall goal is to bring Nigeria into dialogue with world issues.
While in Harvard, the VP was received by top officials of the university and also visited the Divinity School and the African Studies Centre.
