Vice President Yemi Osinbajo yesterday left for Harvard University, Boston, United States. He
is expected to deliver the inaugural, keynote lecture at the
university’s ‘Africa Rising’ course at Harvard Business School today.
Osinbajo’s
spokesman, Mr Laolu Akande, in a statement, said during the lecture,
the vice president would highlight progress made by President Muhammadu
Buhari’s administration in the Nigerian economy, especially in the area
of investment climate.
Akande said the university noted that
it deeply admired the progress that Nigeria had made under the present
administration, including the work of the Presidential Enabling Business
Environment Council.
He quoted the university thus: “It
would be the highest honour for us were you to accept our invitation as
we deeply admire the immense progress that Nigeria has made during your
tenure not only as the country’s Vice President, but also as Chairman of
the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council.
“By
all accounts, this Council has spearheaded crucial initiatives and we
very much hope that you will speak to those, as well as to Nigeria’s
rise in world economic rankings and the vast range of business
initiatives that are ongoing in your country.”
Akande said
the university further described the lecture as a historic moment as it
would be the first time an Africa-focused course would be offered at
Harvard Business School.
