France praises Osinbajo over Nigeria's economy

The prime minister of France, Bernard Cazeneuve,
has hailed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, for the
role he played recently in re-launching the Nigerian
economy.
Osinbajo’s efforts can be seen the current strong
competition of the naira against the dollar. It is also
seen in the peace that has returned to the usually
restive Niger Delta region of the country.
Osinbajo is currently in France where he joined the
global forum on anti-corruption and integrity hosted
by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development.
A statement by Laolu Akande, the vice president’s
spokesperson, quoted Cazeneuve as saying this during
a bilateral meeting with Osinbajo in Paris.

    The vice president,
played this important role while acting on behalf of
President Muhammadu Buhari, who was on medical
vacation in the United Kingdom.
According to the statement, the prime minister
assured that French investors would take advantage of
the opportunities in the Nigerian economy.
Akande said Osinbajo and Cazeneuve agreed that
Nigeria and France would continue to deepen
diplomatic, economic and military relations.
Osinbajo also told the French prime minister that
Nigeria would be happy to work with his country as
well as other diplomatic partners in dealing with the
challenge of de-radicalization. The vice president extended Muhammadu Buhari’s
greetings to the French President Francois Hollande
while thanking him for committing to the fight against
insurgency in Nigeria.
In his response, Cazeneuve noted that though it is
tough job, the French government has a process of
deradicalization involving teams working with
families.
