Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, on Sunday, departed Abuja for Ottawa, the Canadian capital, for a three-day state visit.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande.

This will be the first high-level visit by a Nigerian leader to Canada since 2000, when former President Olusegun Obasanjo visited the North American nation.

The statement is titled, ‘Osinbajo heads to Canada in the first high-level visit in two decades.’

The visit will deepen diplomatic ties between Nigeria and Canada as Prof. Osinbajo will meet the Canadian Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland, and other top parliamentarians and members of the Canadian government in Ottawa tomorrow.

“During the three-day visit, issues and events around educational collaboration, technology, the creative industry, and climate justice, among others, will also feature.

“For instance, the Vice President will give a public lecture at the Queen’s University in Kingston on Wednesday,” the statement read in part.

While in Canada, the vice president will also meet with the leadership of the Nigerian community, including Nollywood and notable Canadian government officials of Nigerian origin.

According to the statement, he will also meet with representatives of the Canadian business community and investors, especially from the creative industry and technology.

Nigeria and Canada have over the years maintained cordial bilateral relationships.

As Canada’s largest trading partner in Africa, Nigeria holds a Bi-National Commission, the only one of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa.

The VP is expected back in Abuja later in the week.

Osinbajo is a good example of busy doing nothing. They tell us they are working, but things are getting worse by the second.
The only Nigerian who doesn't know how bad things have become are those who don't go to the market.

Of course, you are busy promoting a man who has stolen so much from the system that will last him for generations so he doesn't care what becomes of the country.

Is ok, but I don't think Yoruba Christian's will ever vote Muslim Muslim ticket, it will never happen cos they are not fools
