 First let me say how very excited I am to be here. I don't think there is any place that is better to be than here in this place today, where there is so much talent, so much energy and so much enthusiasm. I really am pleased that I was able to make it. And I'm also delighted to have been invited to this summit, this National Youth Entrepreneurship Empowerment Summit, which as you know is an activity that has been put together in celebration of the presidential inauguration 2019. The specific objectives of this gathering, as you are aware by now, was among others to contribute to building your capacity as entrepreneurs in various businesses on the one hand and also providing you some more information about what government is doing, especially the interventions that we are making in entrepreneurship and also some of the purpose-built programs that government has for startups and also for small and medium-sized businesses. The federal government has in the past four years sought to prioritize several initiatives to improve the capacity of entrepreneurs and small businesses. These include the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Program, GIP, Growth and Employment Project, the Youth Entrepreneurship Development Program and several others, spearheaded by the CBN, summed by the Department of Industry and the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment. The truth is that a lot of these initiatives are not on scale. We have several initiatives and several thousands of people are benefitting. But to make the kind of impact we want to make, we simply have to do something that can deal with hundreds of thousands of people as opposed to just a few thousand. And that's the reason why in the next four years, it's our intention to take a more active look at how to scale up the interventions of the federal government. That's why we're setting up an entrepreneurship bank, which is one of the key things, one of the key ways by which we can directly finance entrepreneurship. At the moment, a lot of entrepreneurship activities are built around the central bank or the bank of industry and several other banks. But we think that we need to devote a whole financial institution to looking at how to develop entrepreneurship and how to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises. In the past three days, you've been taught by some of the best in various businesses, most of them with very compelling stories. The subtext of every one of the stories that you must have heard is that it doesn't matter what the challenges you face may be, with some steadfastness, with some courage and innovation, your business will succeed. But let me add to your store of ideas and I'm sure that you already have several. But let me just give you the advice of an old man, what an old man should tell you. If you have what everybody is looking for, you will succeed. And there are not so many things that everybody is looking for. I'll tell you three things that everybody is looking for. The first is that people love excellence. People love excellence. Even if they themselves are not excellent, if they themselves cannot produce excellent things, people love excellence. So a well-crafted word. Look at some of what we've seen today. Look at the gentleman who drew the portrait. Well-laid tiles. And all you're doing is laying tiles to lay it expertly, to lay it such that everywhere, all of the angles are straight, all of the angles are downright. If you're tailoring clothes, that they are well tailored, that the lines are clean lines. If you're a builder, people want to just see straight lines. They want to see something that's well built. Everybody likes excellence. Second thing is that because people like excellence so much, of course, you need to bring everything you're doing to a high level of excellence. Excellence is always the difference between great success and just being ordinary. But two, people want trustworthy individuals to do business with. Everybody wants somebody who is trustworthy. Everybody. Everybody wants a man or woman of integrity. Even thieves like to deal with people of integrity. Even if you're a thief, they still like to deal with people of integrity. So even if a person, so long as you as an individual, a person of integrity, and people are looking for who to work with, you will always find people to work with. You'll always find people who want to deal with you just because you're honest and straightforward. A man or woman who you can entrust with money or who you can just entrust with anything, who will not steal, who will not cheat you. Those kinds of people are the long-distance runners. They always make it, and they always make it big in the end. Once you can be trusted, you open all the doors of opportunity. Finally, people are in search of hardworking and innovating people. People who make no excuses for late delivery. People who make no excuses for non-performance. It was too many people all over the place doing small businesses who are full of excuses. They are full of excuses for not delivering on time, full of excuses for not arranging the event properly, full of excuses for something falling apart. Too many excuses. Everybody is in search of that person who is hardworking, diligent enough not to offer excuses. So if you can do it, if you have any of these three things, as a matter of fact, if you have all three, these three attributes, I guarantee you that money will be running after you. The whole world is in search of men and women of excellence, men and women of integrity, and men and women who can work hard. We truly believe that our nation is as strong and as prosperous as the young people's skills and talents and their hard work. This nation is only as strong as those of you who are in this room and people like yourselves. The nation does not depend on people of my own age. Every nation depends on these young people and so we are deliberate in developing programs and activities that can promote youth development. I'm told that today at least 10 of you will walk away from this summit with one million Naira each courtesy of the federal government of Nigeria and 12 months personal mentorship program courtesy of the Tony Elumello Foundation. Another 10 will win 12 months mentorship, a 12-month mentorship program, only a total, I think, all together of 20 mentorships. In the area of skills acquisition, the best seven skillset will win the sum of 200,000 Naira, I think that has already been done, courtesy of the federal government of Nigeria, to help jumpstart kickstart your businesses. So I want to congratulate in advance all of those who are going to win and those who have already given their prizes and commend all of you for recognizing the need for continuous education and networking for business success. I must also sincerely thank the Tony Elumello Foundation and the Ayers Foundation for their support in this program. And also let me thank all of those who have been judges in the programs, they've judged all of the submissions and those who have also handheld several of our budding entrepreneurs and who will be doing so for the next 12 months. We're also grateful to the Jimmy Tewe company for the lineup of the great young Nigerians who have excelled in businesses and who have poured themselves without holding back to all of what has been done especially the things that have been done to help you to be better at what you do. We also want to thank eventy planners for the coordination and logistics and for pulling this off so expertly. Let me also specially commend our Secretary of the Government of the Federation and the 2019 Presidential Inaugural Planning Committee for this excellent idea. I don't think that in the history of presidential inaugurations anything like this has happened before. So I think that this is really good. This is very innovative and please give the Secretary of the Government a round of applause to all of our young entrepreneurs and business people. I wish you good fortune and God's favor as you grow your businesses to the next level. Thank you and God bless you.
