Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is confident that Nigeria will overcome its diverse challenges and realise its potentials.
He believes this can be achieved if people who share progressive views continue to work together in the interest of the country.
Professor Osinbajo made the remarks on Wednesday when he received members of a South West Think-Tank, known as IMODOYE (knowledge is valuable), led by a former governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
“I am very hopeful that this country will truly realise its potentials and I believe that all of us working together can make that happen; if the progressive ideas are put forward and we focus, then this country indeed will work,” he said.
