Speaking in a statement released by his spokesman, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo said,
“I strongly believe that what our young people are doing and what they are capable of is what will lead our country to where we are meant to be.
The future is not tomorrow. It is already here and we can see it from just everything you are doing, the global acclaim that you are getting; young people like yourselves, doing something good.
I think that we have incredible talent and we must do something about it, to enable these talents and we must ask ourselves questions on setting realistic goals that can enable these talents flourish.
I must say that just based on the sheer creativity around this, I don’t think that anybody anywhere is as funny as Nigerian comedians.
However, the visit has stirred mixed reactions on social media as netizens slam the comedians for visiting the vice president.

University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) has said it set up a panel to investigate the recent viral video involving its student twerking half-clad, insisting that it will only offer its degrees and certificates to students “found worthy.”
The university reiterated that it would not condone indecency and other morally reprehensible behaviours from its students.
“UNN degrees and certificates are awarded only to those who have been found worthy, both in character and in learning,” added the statement.
UNN’s spokesman Okwun Omeaku disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday.
The university explained that the panel would investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, noting that the panel’s report would guide further action to be taken by UNN on the issue.
“The management of UNN, as a result of a recent viral video in social media, involving un-clad female student twerking in front of Akapbio hostel, has set up a panel to investigate circumstances surrounding the video,” the statement explained. “Further action to be taken by the university on the issue will be guided by the findings and reports of the panel.”
According to the UNN statement, preliminary findings revealed that Mirabel Obi, a first-year female student is from the Department of Medical Laboratory Science.
“We urge the general public to disregard reports that the affected student had been suspended or expelled. The public should also ignore any comment suggesting a pre-determined punishment for the student, as she will be given fair hearing by the panel,” it added.
Ms Obi had accused the institution of harassing her and destroying her belongings.
“I wasn’t expelled. I repeat. I was only harassed without being heard from. The authorities badged into my hostel and ransacked my properties,” the embattled UNN student lamented. “A lot of my properties have been damaged, and some are nowhere to be found. How do you invade someone’s privacy?”
The embattled student also insisted that she had the right to twerk.
“Twerking has nothing to do with my academics as you can’t make become a medical student in UNN without passing 300 and above in your JAMB,” she argued. “I am still very serious, and I know how to balance my social and academic life.”
A viral video showed her twerking in a bodysuit during a dance competition for N30,000 last week.
The video enraged the Dean of Student Affairs, Edwin Ogechukwu Emeje, who vowed to expel her for soiling the university’s image.
However, Ms Obi has dismissed Mr Omeje’s remarks, insisting in an Instagram post that the school lacks the power to expel her for twerking.
She added that it was in no way a violation of the school’s rules and regulations.

Nigeria is set to experience a major leap in internet connectivity following the recent deal signed between telecommunications solutions provider, Globacom and Eutelsat of France. According to the parties, the signed deal will offer unlimited benefits to communities that do not yet have access to internet connectivity.
In shedding more light Globacom has said that the deal signifies the initiation of a project that would enable it to offer VSAT/Satellite-based internet service and Satellite-based community wifi internet service in rural and remote areas of the country where internet access to internet services are currently a challenge.
“This is also in line with the Federal Government’s desire to extend broadband coverage beyond urban and densely populated areas. Millions of Nigerians will, therefore, have access to communicate and transact business with the communal provision of internet access by Globacom in these rural areas”, the company said in a statement.
Specific areas of the country that will benefit from the Glo-powered Eutelsat Konnect deal are Remote Northern/Middle-Belt communities, southern offshore locations, farm ranches, and factories/businesses far from townships where access to internet/terrestrial networks are a challenge
Highlighting the key cost-saving benefit of the deal, the telecommunications giant concluded its statement noting “The service will be offered at very attractive and competitive rates which will be cheaper than the current expensive options of going into bigger towns for internet access or internet access over a very expensive terrestrial network in such communities”.
