Yemi Osinbajo leaves Nigeris for US, to meet Mike Pence

Nigeria’s Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is on his way to the United States, where he is expected to meet Mike Pence, his US counterpart.

Laolu Akande, his spokesman, announced this in a statement on Saturday.

“Ahead of his meeting with the US Vice President Mike Pence in Washington D.C on Wednesday, Professor Osinbajo will be meeting with the Council on Foreign Relations on Monday in New York,” Akande said.

“In his meeting with his American counterpart, VP Osinbajo would be discussing matters of mutual interests between Nigeria and the US, while he would be speaking on Nigeria’s economic prospects and other related matters in his meeting with the Council on Foreign Relations.

“The Vice-President leaves for US this afternoon and is expected back in Abuja on Thursday.”

The trip comes four days after Osinbajo hosted some Harvard professors in Lagos.
