“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.”
Elumelu urged Nigerians to be more patient with the President and the ongoing process.
“A bit of patience, you know Rome was not built in a day,” he said.
Information Nigeria had earlier reported that Elumelu called for investments in Nigeria’s power sector, saying it was “ironic” that Nigeria has abundant gas resources but cannot optimally operate its power plants.
