Today, I attended the Inspiration Conference themed Galvanized for Geometric Growth.
It was an opportunity to share some of the strides we have made as a nation under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.

I also shared some of the indices that lend credence to the recent US-based Newsweek magazine's special cover edition which described Nigeria as the Black China and Africa's first super-power.
Nigerian start-ups attracted $122 million out of the $492 million in funding to the African start-up sector in 2019. For example, Kobo360 which aggregates end-to-end haulage operations raised $30m in a Series A round led by Goldman Sachs and Nigerian commercial banks.
NBC will soon be commissioning its Asejire Plant, which has taken part of a recent $500M investment in Nigeria, while Beta Glass which makes the bottles for the pharmaceutical sector & beverages like Coca-Cola & Star Beer, has invested another $30M to expand its furnace capacity.
