Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the Chairman of Heirs Holdings, Mr Tony Elumelu, on his 55th birthday on March 22.
Buhari added that Elumelu’s antecedents had continued to inspire both the young and old on the power of ideas, big dreams and hard work.
He commended Elumelu’s diligence, versatility and selflessness “in championing the economic philosophy of Africapitalism.
“Africapitalism is a call to action on the need to grow businesses that cater for African interests, support governments and bottom-up development within the continent by discouraging long term dependence on donor countries and philanthropic organisations.”
According to him, this is clearly evident in the Tony Elumelu Foundation which started with scholarships and fellowships, and now trains a new generation of business leaders across the continent.
He prayed that the almighty God would grant Elumelu longer life, more ideas and renewed vigour to pursue his dream of making life better for others.
