Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says the problem with Nigeria is not about resources or planning, but the poor management of resources in the past.

This was contained in a statement by Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant to the President, Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, on Monday in Abuja.

Fielding questions from a cross-section of Nigerians in Germany on Sunday night, Mr Osinbajo said that those who made away with the nation’s resources should be made to account for it.

He said that to move forward, such massive corruption should not be allowed again.

“The greatest problem Nigeria has is one of grand corruption; that is the biggest problem we have; not the problem of planning or plans; and grand corruption is the reason why we are not moving as fast as we should in our country.

“There is no country in the world that can survive if its resources are stolen the way Nigeria’s resources are stolen.’’

The vice president said that most of the issues raised by the Nigerians in Diaspora at the meeting over lack of energy, infrastructure, quality and extensive health care services, education and security were traceable to the management of resources.

He called on Nigerians to hold leaders accountable for the nation’s wealth.

The vice president responded to over 30 questions at the town hall meeting in Berlin, described by many of the attendees as the first of its kind since 1999, when civil rule was restored in Nigeria.

Mr Osinbajo stated that one of the key issues the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was dealing with in partnership with European leaders was the repatriation of the country’s stolen assets stashed abroad.

We've created a vacuum for corruption to thrive in this country. Bear in mind, the foundation of this country was built on corruption by PDP!

If this so called grand corruption is killing Nigeria how come it is being fought one sided
How come Magu efcc is blind and allergic to the corruption cases involving apc members .

How come members of other opposition parties are not being tried for this except the leading opposition PDP?

Is it possible that all the former members of PDP that have joined other political parties including the apc have all become saints?

Yemi osibanjo should stop embarrassing himself with all these propaganda the world cannot be deceived in this 21st century,what they are doing is fight against the leading opposition party.

NEMA loot comes to mind...

N20bn - tradermoni loot..
