President Bola Tinubu has said he deserves to be listed in the Guinness World Records because his past exploits paved the way for his emergence as president.
The President made the remark at the 10th German-Nigerian Business Forum.
President Tinubu posited that his track records should earn him recognition, adding that if he was not recognised, he would strive to ensure that his name is inserted in the historic Guinness World Records (GWR).
Tinubu said For those who fear various obstacles look at me, I come from the private sector and I’m one of you, trained by Deloitte, Served as the treasurer of Exxon Mobil. Define corporate governance in any way, and I am in it.
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. This is the track record that led me to the presidency.
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,” he said on a lighter note.
Tinubu’s comments came as Nigerian and German companies sealed two pivotal agreements in Berlin on Tuesday.
The first agreement between Riverside LNG of Nigeria and Johannes Schuetze Energy Import AG of Germany, will see the supply of gas from Nigeria to Germany.
The second agreement between Union Bank of Nigeria and DWS Group, will see $500 million worth of renewable energy projects invested in Nigeria.
