Vice President Osinbajo said:

“The business of the government is to provide the right environment for start-ups.

“The problem in most cases and which we have experienced in Nigeria is that our approval processes are needlessly difficult.

“Bureaucracy generally gets caught in seeing the process as an end in itself not as a means to an end.

“The visa on arrival is one that is already in the regulations but that usually involves your applying ahead.

“But the kind of visa on arrival that we think will free up the process is one which you are able to arrive here and get your visa on arrival as you make your application here.’’

The Vice President also revealed that there are plans by the government to review the process of business registrations in the country.

According to him, this would make it easier for start-ups.

He also assured that the government is committed to ensuring that it is easier for people to do business in Nigeria.

Osinbajo assured that government is working towards making it easier for people to access all of the different facilities that will make it easy to do business.
