Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has called for more collaboration amongst African countries, stressing that it was key to winning the fight against corruption. Osinbajo used the opportunity to request that foreign states should agree to apply the highest possible standards of transparency at all stages. “We must provide adequate resources to investigate, to adequately improve operatives, to protect their families and to protect whistleblowers,” he said. Senior Special Assistant on media and publicity to the Vice President Laolu Akande in a tweet yesterday said the EMT deliberated on employment initiatives. He said, “Vice President Osinbajo now presiding over Economic Management Team meeting discussing and reviewing employment initiatives with presentations from Labour and Employment Minister, Presidential Economic Adviser, SSA Npower/jobs and the Statistician-General-Its about drilling down to create more jobs.”
