Stop Talking Too Much And Let Us See Results- Obasanjo Tells APC

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has called on
the Federal Government to ensure that the results
of its development initiatives are felt by Nigerians.
Obasanjo, who was one of the keynote speakers at
the Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship
Forum, which held on Saturday in Lagos,
commended the government for its programmes
aimed at creating jobs and diversifying the
economy.
Also addressing Abia State Governor, Okezie
Ikpeazu, and Deputy Governor, Ebonyi State, Kelechi
Igwe, at the event, the ex-president said there was
the need to support entrepreneurs in their states to
develop products that would be fit for export.
Obasanjo said, “What you say you are doing is
commendable, please let us see the results. We
have to ensure that doing business in Nigeria is
easy. We have to make them (investors) come to
Nigeria. We need to be able to register a company
at a one-stop shop.”
Earlier, the Minister for Information and Tourism, Lai
Mohammed, stated that the government was moving
the economy from being a mono-product economy
to investing in agriculture, mining and solid minerals
sectors, among others.
Also addressing the 1, 000 entrepreneurs of the
Tony Elumelu Foundation, the Group Managing
Director, Rose of Sharon Group, Folorunso Alakija,
advised them to pursue their businesses with
passion, adding that they should be ready to take
risks.
She said, “The hallmark of any entrepreneur is the
ability to take risks. You need to fight yourself,
friends, competition and government in order to
succeed.”
