Osinbajo said this when he talked at the Leadership grants which occurred in Abuja yesterday May 24th.
"This discussion about making monetarily feasible states ought to accordingly be seen through the viewpoint of the medium to the long haul. There will dependably be the impulse to organize raising Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) no matter what. On the off chance that this is done in a way that smothers the present business visionaries and speculators, at that point obviously there will be an incredible cost to pay down the line. Along these lines, unmistakably Governors need to think past four or eight year cycles. There must be a promise to establishing a framework that our successors will expand on, and for successors to be prepared to expand on establishments laid. One of the difficulties with administration in Nigeria today is that propensity for destroying or expelling everything acquired. President Buhari demanded when we accepted office that we should guarantee the finishing of ventures began yet deserted or uncompleted by past governments previously beginning new ones. Our concern, obviously, in our nation, isn't in new thoughts or beginning undertakings, it is the absence of meticulousness and teach to finish extends and to look after them.
Our States must think design and go about as nations, and for what reason not? Ten of Nigeria's States with the most noteworthy GDPs have higher GDPs than more than 15 African nations. Truth be told, I was stating a few days ago, that in the event that you take a gander at Rwanda, which is a nation that is commended in Africa, the GDP of Lagos State is very nearly four times the extent of Rwanda's GDP.
Taking on a similar mindset as a nation implies arranging like one. Furthermore, I believe that a standout amongst the most vital things for states to do is to start to think and plan like nations do. What's more, we can't sit tight for established changes that might be required for facilitate devolution to the states. We should act regardless of whether there is this change. Much of the time, states have control of a portion of the assets that can have a colossal effect in the way that they work" VP Yemi Osinbajo says
