The Chief Executive Officer of Efe Elliot Bizarre Company Limited, Mr. Henry Efe has said his passion for business made him to reject white collar job offer.
The businessman revealed that he had nurtured the passion for business from a very tender age as he engaged in different small businesses.
The graduate of Economic and Statistics from the University of Benin said he turned down several offers for white collar jobs because it simply couldnot meet his financial needs.
Efe who is into exportation of charcoal and woods overseas since 2013, stressed that he doesn’t have regret venturing into business.
“I have passion for my kind of business because it’s a source of wealth creation and employment. The business is unique and charcoal is a source of raw material for products such as tooth paste, chemical etcetera.
The CEO, however, advised the youths to venture into entrepreneurship by tapping from the abundant natural resources so as not to become perpetual white collar job seeker.
“Most youth are yet to identify their innate talents, but run after white collar jobs. Sadly, they do not see most of the abundant natural resources as treasures. They want a soft ground to stand upon.”
He called on members of the public to avoid bush burning, excess lumbering and deforestation, which according to him are affecting charcoal business in Nigeria.
