“I feel elated receiving this award, this is actually the 21st award am receiving within three months and I believe its well-deserved and proves the fact that patience is indeed important. It is possible to make it in life even with this difficult climate all you need is to take it step by step, plant, nurture it and at the end of the day it would grow’, he said.
“You don’t need to break the bank to become successful , I started seven years ago with N2.5 million and here I am today, so our youth should always remember that they can make it in this country without defrauding’, Adeyemo added.
