I didn't became chairman of uba , transcrop because a weapthy background- tony elumelu
The Chairman of Heirs Holdings PLC, Tony Elumelu, has said that he did not become successful because he had rich parents.
Elumelu said this while sharing his success story with teens at the Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide TEAP Zone Teens Career Conference.
In a series of tweets seen by THE WHISTLER on Sunday, Elumelu said it took him hard work, dedication, discipline, and sacrifice to become a successful business mogul.
Elumelu said, “I didn’t become the Chairman of UBA Group and Transcorp Group because I had wealthy parents or I went to the best schools, or because I was the most intelligent and brilliant in my country. Your circumstances today must not define your future.
“Embrace hard wor and sacrifice: I realized growing up that the way to get to the top is to go the extra hard. Tell yourself that there is no other way to get there if you don’t work hard. Have the discipline to say no to things that don’t serve you right, and sacrifice now for future rewards. If you work hard, and are disciplined, you will get what you desire in life.
“Be yourself – This was an advice I gave to Oge when she resumed at London School of Economics. There are so many distractions and influences in the world we live in. Overtime, people start to doubt their identity and act in a manner that is alien to them. Don’t go against your values because you want to be perceived as “sociable. Anyone who doesn’t accept you.
“Relationships between parents and children: Have a healthy relationship with your parents. Parents correct, they nurture, they teach in different ways. To parents, be flexible. Establish the opportunity for dialogue with your kids and allow them to share their thought. We must learn from each other.”
Elumelu controls UBA which has a market capitalization of N506.15bn. The billionaire through his vehicle HH Capital controls indirect holdings of 2,275,272,404 units of shares of UBA while his direct holdings are 194,669,555 units of shares.
He founded Heirs Holdings in 2010 and in 2021, he was officially handed the Certificate of Discharge of the iconic.
