We all know how critical access to electricity is to the Nigerian economy. Robust, plentiful power, delivered across our country will be transformative.
Improved access to electricity yields life enhancing changes to our schools, hospitals, homes and industries.

At @TranscorpGroup, we are transforming a vision into a reality. We do not only have the vision – but have turned that vision into reality.
@TranscorpGroup made History today. It became the first privatized power generation company in Nigeria to fulfil all privatisation obligations and receive a discharge certificate from the Federal Government of Nigeria since the 2013 privatisation of the power sector in Nigeria.
Often, I am asked what achievement I am most proud of, and my answer is always the same – the sense of fulfilment I feel, when I interact with the beneficiaries of the @TonyElumeluFDN.
Hearing their testimonies, successes and challenges, the impact that $5,000 has on their businesses, ideas, and communities – this gives me joy and excitement. When people ask what motivates me – this is it!
Yesterday, on the side-lines of #UNGA77, @TonyElumeluFDN and @Google hosted a Roundtable at @UBAAmerica. We listened to 3African entrepreneurs; Ugochi Obidiegwu, founder - @TheSafetyChic; Kwabena Danso, founder - Booomers Intl. Ltd, and Chioma Ukonu, co-founder - @RecyclePointsNG
I am an example of success in Africa. There are a lot of opportunities on the continent, but capital is very difficult to come by. I come from a modest background and I have been able to grow multinational businesses from this modest background.
But I'm not the only one.
But I'm not the only one.
There are a lot of other young Africans who are more energetic, equally intelligent, if not more intelligent, but access to capital is very difficult to come by in Africa.
The @TonyElumeluFDN for the past 12 years has been catalysing and supporting African entrepreneurs and from my interactions with them and what we've seen, they need capital, mentoring and business education, so that when the capital comes they know how to manage it.
