shaku,' as I believe it is one of those things that is keeping our people going
on in this very difficult times, I believe that the crossroads that we have

this period calls for sober reflection not dancing or learning how to dance as
there are many challenges facing our nation at the moment, not the least being
recently having our country named the world headquarters of extreme poverty
with over eighty seven million people. “Worse still millions more are losing
their jobs, with four million by the third quarter of this year alone.
“Millions of Nigerians go to bed hungry not knowing where the meal for the next
day will come from, hundreds of thousands risk death by crossing the Sahara and
the Mediterranean Sea to wherever they can make a living. “These and other
challenges are indicative of the dire straits facing us as a nation today. And
these are what we on the Atiku team are spending our time with the best minds
on how to start creating jobs and putting food on people’s table.” Osinbajo had
