The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo was in Maiduguri on Thursday, to launch the 30th edition of the Federal Government’s Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Clinic during which he commissioned four out of over 500 projects executed by Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum.

The Vice President arrived Maiduguri around 11am and was received by Governor Zulum alongside Senator Kashim Shettima, national and state assembly members, other top government officials and party leaders.

He arrived in the company of the Ministers

Osinbajo who had visited the school on previous visits to Borno, interacted with orphans schooling at the centre.
