She said, ‘’We are full of thanks, we do not deny the fact that the challenges are there, but we also recognize that God’s hands have been on the businesses and we are always sustained by the same God; we are therefore back to give thanks to the same God that has sustained us over the years’’

"I am extremely positive about Nigeria; I believe in Nigeria's dream and there are still lot of brilliant minds in Nigeria. What we haven’t gotten right in the country is leadership. We all therefore must start to get involved in driving the positive change that we want to see in the country. We must be the change that we want to see; Change starts with each of us.”
