President Bola Tinubu says he deserves recognition from the
Guinness World Records due to the economic reforms he has introduced since
assuming office on May 29.
Addressing groups of investors at the 10th German-Nigerian
Business Forum on Tuesday, the president said he has dealt with “every hurdle
and obstacle” in the way of those willing to invest in Nigeria.
Tinubu recalled his time as a corporate player, adding that
his experience from the private sector has equipped him with the tools to
tackle the economic challenges assailing Nigeria.
“If you have fears of various hurdles; just look at me. I
come from the private sector, trained by Deloitte. Worked for Exxon Mobil until
I became the treasurer of the corporation,” he said.
“So, define corporate
governance, whichever way, and I am in it. I’m from there. I governed Lagos for
eight consecutive years.
“Today, I can proudly beat my chest that Lagos state is on
the horizon and the fifth-largest economy in Africa, rising from zero. That is
the track record that got me into this office as the president of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
“Nigeria voted for me for reforms and from day one of my
inauguration, I started the reform.
“To me, if you didn’t
mention me in the Guinness Book of Records, I’d thrive to find a way to insert
myself because I did it without expectation.”
