Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, on Tuesday received the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors in his office, Abuja.
The governors were on a felicitation visit to the vice- president as he recovered from the leg surgery done in July.
The vice-president had expressed his appreciation to the visiting governors for their solidarity and good wishes.
He harped on the need for urgent measures to address issues on the economy and the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.
The vice-president and the governors agreed to engage the pressing issues further with a view to bringing fast resolution for the benefit of the Nigerian people.
Worried by the Monday’s indefinite strike called by striking University lecturers, Osinbajo said “We all need to work together on these critical issues. We need to think through things, and we need to do it fast,” he said.
He also commended the expertise of Nigerian doctors, and the availability of cutting-edge medical facilities existing in the country.
The vice-president regretted that doctors were restrained by regulations from advertising and as a result many people were unaware of the level of quality medical services available locally.
Gov. Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State, who is also the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, spoke with State House correspondents shortly after the meeting with the vice-president.
He said that the governors were excited that the vice-president had recovered from a serious medical procedure that he had.
