First of all I have told you that success that does not endure is not success.
My professional background is in the private sector, I’ve been in the private sector all my life.
One thousand people will make a great impact, but we want to scale this initiative up even further. I spoke about Lee Kuan Yew
So with this initiative, I am not looking at creating academicians, we are looking at creating public servants who are intellectually sound and understand what development means.
People say that things I identify with closely tend to succeed, I’ve heard people say that and I am grateful to them for saying that and I am more importantly grateful to God for giving me whatever endowment that have made that possible.
I have no doubt that if we have the same quality of people and the same capabilities that reside in the people in the private sector in the public sector, Nigeria, and indeed Africa will have a totally different story.
As the economy shrinks, employment shrinks. Nigeria has to create six million jobs on a yearly basis but we are losing jobs, while unemployment rate is getting higher from 10 to 12 per cent.
