Professor Michael Porter

As the Founding Patron of the Tony Elumelu Foundation I am proud of what has been achieved in less than five years. I congratulate the 1,000 Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurs from across Africa coming to Ota for the forum. The networks you will build and the training you will receive will equip you to strategically build great and competitive businesses that will contribute to Africa’s development in a meaningful way.”
