VP Osinbajo to deliver lecture on Boko Haram at Harvard University

The Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will continue the global campaign against Boko Haram insurgency in a lecture he would deliver at the Harvard University, Boston, in the U.S. on Thursday.


A statement issued by the Vice President’s spokesman, Mr. Laolu Akande, on Thursday, said the lecture at the Harvard’s “Nigeria in the World” seminar is at the invitation of the university.

It added that Prof. Osinbajo would be talking on “Destroying Boko Haram and the Rebuilding of Nigeria’s North-East”.

Akande said Osinbajo would highlight the progress made by the Buhari presidency in degrading Boko Haram resulting in the freedom of thousands of Nigerians in Boko Haram captivity, including some of the abducted Chibok girls.

The Vice President who left Abuja on Wednesday after attending the Federal Executive Council meeting and the inauguration of the Presidential Committee on the Northeast Initiative, is expected back on Sunday.
