Billionaire philanthropist, investor and Chairman of the United Bank for Africa (UBA), Mr Tony Elumelu, has again hailed the bold decisions taken by President Bola Tinubu to reset the country, saying the private sector is impressed by the reforms.
He was optimistic that Nigerians will reap the benefits of the reforms “in due course.”
Addressing State House correspondents after meeting with the President on Tuesday, Elumelu lauded Tinubu for his long overdue policy initiatives since he took power.
Elumelu told reporters: “The private sector is encouraged with the bold decisions President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken.
“And we hope that in the fullness of time, Nigerians will benefit from it because it is all about the Nigerian people.
“It is all about the youths. It is all about making sure that women are involved and empowered.
“It is all about making sure our youths get jobs and I think Mr. President has this at the back of his mind and I believe, as a private sector person, that the actions and the decisions the president is taking now will help our people in the long run.”
While urging Nigerians to be more patient with Tinubu and the ongoing process, Elumelu also said: “A bit of patience, you know Rome was not built in a day.”
