“In his inaugural speech in Abuja the Nation’s capital, the newly elected President stated that his administration will create friendly policies, that will grow the nation’s economy, attract more investors, and influence business growth. He also emphasised the creation of one million jobs, in his administration. This brought great joy to many young people and entrepreneurs in Nigeria, as they look forward to the beginning of a new Economic era.”
He commended President Tinubu on his leadership direction, and confirms the possibility of one million jobs promised by Tinubu through entrepreneurship, stating that entrepreneurship is the major catalyst for job creation, poverty eradication and economic growth.

He urges them to position themselves and their businesses towards the tons of opportunities that will emerge “from this political and economic shift.”
“Tinubu, a firm believer and promoter of entrepreneurship, became the organisation’s Patron in the year 2014 and since then has contributed immensely to the growth and development of African Entrepreneurs, not just in Nigeria but all over the continent,” said Francis.
