As the country continues to battle the deadly virus called coronavirus, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has assured that Nigerians will survive the despair, pain, and other consequences associated with the pandemic.
Osinbajo noted that though COVID-19 has caused unprecedented hardship and disruptions to economies across the world, he believes that by the grace of God, very soon, the pandemic will be defeated.
The vice president disclosed this in a message sent to the 11th Synod of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Abuja Diocese, themed: Building a Sure Foundation.
According to Osinbajo, the Nigerian economy is facing its worst period in history. He explained that the country is earning 40% less because oil prices have fallen and today few can afford to pay taxes.
