Nigeria’s Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has called on the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies(NIPSS) to plan, interpret and predict trends on climate change, food security, technology and other related phenomena.

Osinbajo made the call on Thursday at the Presidential Villa while inaugurating the newly constituted 11-man board of trustees of the NIPSS Endowment Fund, chaired by the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar.

He thanked the chairman and members for accepting to serve on the board, noting that since its establishment in 1979, NIPSS had proven to be the foremost institution for reflection, ideation and research.

“So, I believe that NIPSS and what we are trying to constitute today is one that would have to plan, predict and interpret the trends of the coming years; and those trends would be many,” said Osinbajo.

“One would be the various challenges that the world would face; we are going, aside from food security, huge problems of poverty at a scale that appears to be increasing all across the world—and I speak not just for our own region—all across the world,” he added.

The vice president also expressed concern about climate change, adding that “We have seen already climate change and all the implications for the future of our planet and the future of our socio-economic circumstances of the world and in particular developing countries and, of course, Nigeria.’’
