Nigerian youths who scramble for white-collar jobs rather than strive for skill acquisition for self-employment have been advised to do a rethink and abide by the laws and rules obtainable in countries where they transact business.
A Lagos Businessman, Anshul Pal, the Chief Executive Officer of Sfurna Global Limited (SGL) who gave this advice while accepting this year’s African Prize for Leadership Excellence in Lagos recently, also urged the youths to be good citizens and be focused and dedicated to a noble cause.
African Prize for Leadership Excellence is promoted by the African Institute for Leadership Excellence and, at a ceremony in Abuja recently for the prize award, Pal emerged the winner of the 2016 Business Personality Leadership award.
The Africa Leadership Award is all about achievers, super achievers and future business leaders. It attracts the best of the best from Africa and highlights, recognizes and rewards their ability to steer their businesses through turbulent times, applying the best of business modules to manage and keep their missions afloat.
The award recognises achievements made by selected high profile corporate business leaders in Africa and SGL’s boss was honoured this year for his company’s contributions to Nigeria’s post-recession economic development.
