President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reflected on the trajectory of his life, which prepared him for leadership.Tinubu told a story of his slow start to greatness, including working as a security guard and a tutor in school.
“Good education brought me here and I am happy to stand before you here as the president of Nigeria,” he said.“I joined Deloitte and was trained by one of the biggest accounting firms in the world, because of my education. “When I joined them, I asked them, do you have branches in Nigeria? and they said, ‘we have a lot of clients that will take you, if you want to go home.’
“That’s how I got to Exxon Mobil and was a very successful accountant, auditor-general, and treasurer, until I joined politics with a can-do attitude. “You can also do it; do not be despondent in any way. Nigeria is ready to accommodate all. It does not matter which part of Nigeria you are from,” the president exclaimed.
