Philanthropist and entrepreneur, Tony Elumelu, says he enjoys talking with young people more about entrepreneurship.

The 56-year-old, who was born in Plateau State, tweeted on Thursday that he enjoys speaking with youths around the world about entrepreneurship because of the future ahead of them.

“I speak about entrepreneurship all over the world but I am most excited when speaking to such young ones with so much ahead of them,” Elumelu wrote.

“So today at @bridgehouseng I shared the values of hard work, discipline and how paramount entrepreneurship is to our country, #Nigeria.”

Elumelu recently celebrated the birthday of his wife of 26 years, Awele Elumelu, a medical doctor.

The economist called his wife his ‘mom extraordinaire’ and his ‘quiet backbone’.
