Berlin (Germany), Nov. 22, 2023 – President Bola Tinubu says he deserves to be listed in the Guinness World Records (GWR) for his achievements.
Tinubu, who was addressing investors at the 10th German-Nigerian Business Forum in Berlin, Germany, said he had overcome many investment obstacles in Nigeria.
He said his accomplishments should be acknowledged and he was determined to pursue the inclusion of his name in the GWR.
“If you have the fear of various hurdles, just look at me. I am from the private sector, one of you.
“I was trained by Deloitte and worked for ExxonMobil until I got to become the treasurer of the corporation. So, define corporate governance in any way, and I am in it,” he said.
Tinubu said that during his eight-year tenure as Governor of Lagos State, he successfully transformed the state from ground zero to become the fifth-largest economy in Africa.
“I governed Lagos for eight consecutive years and, today, I can brag, beat my chest that Lagos is on the horizon, it’s the fifth-largest economy in Africa from zero.
“That is a track record that I can use to assure you and that is the track record that got me into this office as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said. (GBN)
