Several Nigerian students studying in India attended the meeting, according to a statement by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President for Media and Publicity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tinubu advised the students that they might succeed in their chosen professions if they put effort, honesty, determination, and a shift in perspective into practise.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cGood education brought me here and I am happy to stand before you here as the President of Nigeria. I started small. I was a security guard. I was a tutor in school. I was a brilliant student. I joined Deloitte and was trained by one of the biggest accounting firms in the world, because of my education.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I joined them, I asked them, do you have branches in Nigeria and they said, \u2018we have a lot of clients that will take you, if you want to go home.\u2019 That\u2019s how I got to Exxon Mobil and was a very successful accountant, auditor-general, and treasurer, until I joined politics with a can-do attitude.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can also do it; do not be despondent in any way. Nigeria is ready to accommodate all. It does not matter which part of Nigeria you are from.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
