Nigerian billionaire entrepreneur and prominent banker, Tony Elumelu being greeted by president Barack Obama who arrived his hometown, Kenya on Friday for the 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES)... The chairman of Heirs Holding -posted on his Facebook page how the week had treated him..See below; It has certainly been a hectic week for me, with travels to four countries in a matter of days. The week began with a visit to promote African entrepreneurship in Washington DC where I travelled as an invitee of the Federal Government. During his visit to the US, His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR addressed a business roundtable dinner organised by the US Ch... I flew straight on to speak at the Forbes Afrique Forum in Brazzaville, Congo at the request of the publisher, Lucien Ebata, a good friend and supporter of The Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF). It also proved an opportunity to meet briefly with United Bank for Africa Plc staff in the country – there is no substitute for meeting our people on the ground. Now I have just landed in Nairobi, Kenya, to be one of the speakers at the historic 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES), that will be headlined by President Barack Obama. This year's GES is particularly symbolic, as it is the first time that the forum will be held in sub-Saharan Africa. I am proud to be part of an event that focuses on entrepreneurship-led development in Africa, as this is so central to what TEEP and my Foundation are committed to.

A clear message regarding the events that trailed presidential outbursts in Washington by PMB. Tony seems to be saying "My frontiers cannot be limited by your narrow-mindedness".... Word. |

Nice development. Tony Elumelu has contributed so much to entrepreneurial development in Nigeria and Africa in broad with his seed funding start up programs and bootcamps. He should have carried young aspiring entrepreneurs with him along to Kenya. People like the founders of CC Hub, Lagos. We need to expose our young talents to these platforms. However, Nigeria will always be the leader of entrepreneurial development in the world, it's just that our government don't know how to tap into this. Imagine what American investors and government would have done to Aba, Ariaria etc. It would have been a silicon valley of it's own. |
