The Tony Elumelu Foundation

#AfricanEntrepreneurs Welcome to a brand new week! This week, you must renew your commitment to excellence in every step of your entrepreneurial journey! As Our Founder, Tony O. Elumelu, C.F.R states: “As entrepreneurs, you must understand the importance of quality, reliability, integrity and above all professionalism. The short run attention to excellence might not give you returns, depending on how you define returns, but in the long run, it will give you significant returns, as long as excellence remains your watchword.” #EmpoweredByTEF #TEF2024
