Osinbajo’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, said the vice president received a delegation from the NSE led by the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Oscar Onyeama, on a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa.
The vice president said the proposed NSE collaboration with the Federal Government would enhance service delivery and improve transparency in public
“The collaboration with the Federal Government in the Ease of Doing Business, government’s privatisation programme and even in the innovation hubs programme is a good thing, and I think it will be very helpful.

“So, generally I think collaborating with the NSE in different initiatives is a good idea.
“The participation of the NSE will bring about more transparency and credibility in the sale of public enterprises, and we will look into that aspect,” he said.
