Tony Elumelu's Speech at Strathmore Business School

I'd like to thank the Dean of Strathmore Business School, the faculty members, elders of this country who are here, senior business leaders, fellow entrepreneurs, students and my colleagues. I am honoured to be here with you this morning and to have the opportunity to share my thoughts on this very interesting topic. "Interesting", because I believe that, as this institution does, Africa to a large extent can and will be developed by the private sector. Government has a role to play but the role of government to a large extent is to help facilitate or to help create the right environment.
