The Canada-based Nigerian entrepreneur lamented the condition of many Nigerian youths who, because of unemployment, took to menial jobs, including commercial motorcycle business, to make a living. x
He challenged the government to come up with programmes that would help youths to become great entrepreneurs.
“As the chief executive officer of an international business organisation focused on trade, investment, project financing and business facilitation between Canada and Africa, I believe it would go a long way in inculcating in the youth the quality of having a global perspective in business.”
