While welcoming the Governors, Osinbajo expressed his appreciation for the visit and the good wishes.
The VP also commended the expertise of Nigerian doctors, and the availability of cutting edge medical facilities existing in the country.
The VP regretted that doctors are restrained by regulations to advertise and as a result many people are unawares of the level of quality medical services available locally.
A statement issued by the media office of the Vice president said during the brief interaction that followed at the meeting, important national issues were also raised especially regarding the economy and the ASUU strike.
The Vice President and the Governors then agreed to engage these and other pressing issues further with a view to bringing urgent resolution for the benefit of the Nigerian people.
According to the Vice President “we all need to work together on this critical issues. We need to think through things, and we need to do it fast.”
