The vice president stressed the need for collaboration among states of the federation in order to stimulate the economy, just as he attributed the country's economic woes to over-dependence on oil.

 

Osinbajo who spoke at the Economic Summit organised by Vintage Press, publishers of The Nation newspapers, said the Federal Government would prioritise infrastructural development to give a boost to the diversification drive of the federal government as over-dependence on oil had been the nation's undoing.

 

He said corruption had equally crippled the nation's economy but promised that the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration was poised to change the situation.

 

The summit had in attendance Governors Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State and Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, among others.
