He said he finds it hard to sleep because of the current high rate of unemployment in Nigeria.
“What keeps me awake at nights is not really the enormity of business ideas running through my mind, but it is actually high rate of unemployment in the country.
‘It is an eyesore and I think we have collective responsibility to solve this problem”, Nation quoted him as saying.
“It is surprising that poverty grows in this country as population grows, especially in the North where you have low income families bearing score of children they cannot cater for”, he added.
Africa’s richest man said developed economies were not created by the government, but private sector which acts as drivers of growth and development.
He linked insurgency and militancy to unemployment, saying criminality would fester in a society where government does not encourage entrepreneurs to create jobs.
