To  the The Nigerian Society of Engineers Victoria Island Branch, and the Young Engineers Forum, thank you for funding many young people to Tekedia Mini-MBA. I just received an update that the tradition continues with the edition beginning on Monday. We appreciate this partnership and will continue to justify the confidence at Tekedia Institute.

To all young people, I welcome you to the Institute.  We have got many support systems there: one just came from Europe and we’re evaluating. We already have a big one from Amazon USA. But as I have noted, I want the African nativity of our program to remain core and we will not dilute it.

To NSE, thank you.

Do not be disappointed whenever I share those nice speeches from our Vice President complaining how over-regulations, taxes, etc are killing businesses and our economy. Some prefer that I do not attack him since I always write nice things about him (he is amazing, the kind of guy you will like to have dinner with).

But I see it as an irony that a man we all hired to fix problems is constantly complaining about the issues, without getting to work to fix them. I am too old to be worried about contracts, favours, etc from politicians. So, I have my freedom to share my mind: Mr Vice President, we know the issues, and we hired you to FIX them. You do not need to keep reminding us; get them fixed. I say this with ALL RESPECT of course.

You coordinate the economy for the regime, tell the DG to pause that over-regulation or ask your party to amend the applicable Act in the parliament; you have the power to help these SMEs and move things.

“We have to take a second look at how we regulate; over-regulation is killing businesses; it kills investments; an agric exporter can’t export perishable produce after months… Because our certification processes are slow, others from outside nations-from neighbouring countries based on an ECOWAS agreement–with faster processes can bring their products and sell here, while our own businesses are still on the queues of regulatory agencies,” Vice President of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo
