Emeka Ihedioha, several Distinguished Senators and serving members of the National Assembly, Bank CEOs, captains of industries and representatives of corporate Nigeria.

Speaking before the unveiling of YUBOSS, the Chairman, Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation –Ekeh recalled several years of extreme pain before pleasure in his core sector of ICT and reminded youths that this century, despite all challenges, is one of mega wealth for them but insisted that they have to work for it. He stated that the Foundation is focusing, for now, only on those who have the brain, energy and hunger to achieve certified wealth.

 While assuring that he has installed digital infrastructure to personally mentor all those selected through the YUBOSS platform, Ekeh disclosed that his ambition is that, by 2021, the Foundation would have delivered 36 sustainable billionaires and 778 millionaires.

In his speech during the unveiling of YUBOSS, Dr. Ngige lauded Yudala for the giant strides recorded in the marketplace within a year of existence and the determination to empower the youths through YUBOSS.

The Minister also showered encomiums on the Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation for the landmark investment in YUBOSS – a move which, in his opinion, will go a long way in aiding the government’s efforts at job creation.

Also speaking, Barr. Shittu expressed the commitment of the Ministry of Communications to partner with Yudala and the Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation in further growing Nigeria

“Part of our mandate in the Ministry of Communications is to increase the contribution to Nigeria’s GDP through partnerships with the ICT sector and especially e-commerce which is enjoying huge investments and growing at an astronomical rate in the country.

“I must commend the Management of Yudala for creating a viable platform such as YUBOSS to empower our youths and my good friend, Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation for his many pioneering efforts and for believing in Nigeria. The Ministry of Communications will partner with Yudala and the Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation to take the YUBOSS message to every nook and cranny of the country to ensure that not only the people of Abuja will benefit from this huge opportunity.
