Osinbajo drops bombshell, says Borno is about size of UK, plus Sweden or Denmark
Legit.ng earlier reported that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has warned the international communities against criticizing Nigeria's economy and insecurity without understanding its geographical and population size.
For instance, the professor said that the Borno state is bigger in terms of landmass than the UK and Sweden together or UK and Denmark.
Osinbajo added that atleast about 10 state's GDPs in Nigeria are bigger than some African countries.
Osinbajo said the report of insecurity coming out of the country did not reflect the reality of the entire country, which is too vast in landmass.
