Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said there was the need for Nigeria’s policy elite to contribute to matters of national concern and public discourse, especially on national unity.
Osinbajo’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, in a statement on Wednesday, said that the vice president made the appeal when he received the executive council of the Alumni Association of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The vice president, who is also the Chairman of the NIPSS Governing Council, harped on the need for the nation’s policy elite to contribute to the debates on national development.“I think that this question of national unity is one that we must look at very carefully and must proffer ideas and solutions to issues.
“If you look at the quality of debates or sometimes the acrimony with which debates on national unity are proffered, you will find that unless something is done, a time will come when it will be impossible to have any kind of decent debate.
