FOCUS: Osinbajo Christmas, New Year gifts to ministers
Osinbajo presented books to the ministers
Osinbajo deviated from the norm of giving cash, hampers, bags of rice, electronic
gadgets and other more expensive items.
The Vice President instead decided to give each minister three books before the commencement of the FEC meeting.
He did not hand the books over to them personally, but before the commencement of the meeting, protocol officials had placed small white paper bags containing the books on the ministers’ tables.
The bags were customised to show that they were from the Vice President. As they started arriving, ministers were seen bringing out the books apparently to confirm the contents of the bags and the source.
Osinbajo gave the ministers three books from the same author - Malcolm Gladwell, an English-born Canadian journalist and speaker.
The books are:
1. The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference (2000)
2. Outliers: The Story of Success (2008) and
3. David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants (2013)
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, seeks to explain and describe the “mysterious” sociological changes that mark everyday life.
Outliers: The Story of Success, examines the factors that contribute to high levels of success.
David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants, focuses on the probability of improbable events occurring in situations where one outcome is greatly favoured over the other.

Meanwhile, Osinbajo has stated that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is slow because there is no quick fix to the problems facing the nation's economy.
He pleaded with Nigerians to continue to believe that the government remains focused on improving key sectors to revive the economy and create jobs.
