Osinbajo explained that the delay in resolving these issues was due to bureaucratic bottlenecks synonymous with governments.
"I look forward to getting the details and making sure that we are able to begin to resolve some of these issues as quickly as possible. You must also recognize that generally speaking, governments tend to be very slow, processes are slow, bureaucracies are slow, but we will make sure that we do the very best we can to get you your rights."

Osinbajo called on the affected traders in Ghana to submit a more detailed letter containing the number of affected shops and other relevant information that would enable the Nigerian government follow-up effectively.
