President of Chocolate City Group, Audu Maikori, has an
axe to grind with the President Muhammmadu Buhari-
led adiminstration. The former boss of Chocolate City
group recently made his thoughts known on the new
ministerial list, especially as regards the age of those
who made the cut.
He took to his Twitter handle on Tuesday to vent;
“Instead of my juniors and my age mates getting
nominated for ministerial roles it’s their fathers that are
being nominated … #Relegation.
“You see the reason why they keep us tagged as ‘youth’
is to justify their long stay in power. We cannot be
‘Youth’ forever,” he posted.
Maikori was recently announced as one of the judges for
a new social entrepreneur competition tagged The
Venture . Confirming the contract, he stated; “if you are a
social entrepreneur The Venture competition should
interest you. I will be leading a panel of judges at the
forthcoming competition brought to you by Chivas
Regal.”
According to Maikori, one winner will be selected to
represent Nigeria on the global stage which will have 27
other finalists from 27 countries around the world. The
grand prize for the competition of one million US dollars
($1 million) will help the winner invest.
Organisers of The Venture say that the competition is
created to inspire, discover and reward those who
believe that business can be a force for good.
A statement from the organisers reads; “With $1Million
in funding and expert support, The Venture will enable a
new generation of social entrepreneurs to create positive
change. If you have a business that makes the world
better and the ambition to match, it’s time to step
forward.”
