Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Friday urged governors and other stakeholders to stop the blame game and focus on human capital development in their respective areas.
He spoke during the launch of Human Capital Development Programme: Healthy, Educated and Productive Nigerians for a Globally Competitive Nation by 2030 at the extended National Economic Council (NEC), meeting at the Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Advising them to resist playing politics with issues, he said that it was time to get the job done.
The Vision 2030 focuses on the Human Capital Development hinged on health and nutrition, education and labour force participation.
Osinbajo said: “There is no denying that debilitating levels of poverty existed in spite of huge earnings in the past.
“We are doing exactly what countries like India and Brazil did in similar situation for instance kick-starting the Social Investment Programme (SIP).
“Concerted collaboration is required now so we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past. Constant communication with the people is equally important because the resources belong to them.”
He stressed the needs to promote transparency, accountability and improving existing data.
Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari, said governors have been working hard to make the economy work in a more transparent manner.
He said they remained accountable to the people, adding “we have tried to make sure that every cent is spent.”
