Osinbajo charges govt’s agencies to respect Nigerians

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Monday charged the Federal Government agencies to hold the citizens in high regard.

Osinbajo, according to a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, made the call when he received a delegation of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said: “It is very important that we show respect for our citizens and show that we are concerned about them, that we are not just a regulatory body that feels that its role is just to be a policeman, and all of that.
