The economist pointed out that most Nigerians have entrepreneurial attribute but regretted that these potentials have remained inactive.
He, however, stressed that the country can stimulate economic growth by paying adequate attention to education and entrepreneurship which are the main focus of his foundation.
“Unfortunately, the entrepreneurial-driven individuals in our society lack basic education to do things right. This country can benefit a lot by exciting her natural resources.”
