“I am impressed by your simplicity, ” Buhari to Mark Zuckerberg"

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday commended the Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of social networking website, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, for sharing his wealth of knowledge with Nigerian youths, and inspiring a new generation of entrepreneurs.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President spoke while granting audience to Zuckerberg at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari said the various meetings held with Nigerian youths since his arrival in the country were most timely as the country was
already exploring opportunities to spur development throughentrepreneurship.
He said, “Nigeria has always been identified as a country with
great potential for growth, especially with our youthful population,
but now we are moving beyond the potential to reality.

“I am impressed by your simplicity in sharing your knowledge and
wealth with those with less income.”
The President noted that the simplicity and magnanimity of the
entrepreneur, who is among the world’s richest men, had also
challenged the culture of lavish wealth display and impulsive
spending that had become peculiar to Nigerians.
“In our culture, we are not used to seeing successful people
appear like you. We are not used to seeing successful people
jogging and sweating on the streets.
“We are more used to seeing successful people in air-conditioned
places. We are happy you are well-off and simple enough to
always share,” he said.
In his remarks, Zuckerberg said he was impressed by the interest,
energy and entrepreneurial spirit displayed by young Nigerians in
all the ICT camps that he had visited.
“I was highly impressed by the talent of the youths in the Co- creation Hub in Yaba. I was blown away by their talent and the level of energy that I saw,’’ he said.
Zuckerberg added that he is in the country to promote the penetration of “fast and cheap” internet connectivity, Express-wifi, that would help people create online businesses and reduce poverty.
