enjoying huge investments and growing at an astronomical rate in the country.
“I must commend the Management of
Yudala for creating a viable platform such as YUBOSS to empower our youths and
my good friend, Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation for his many pioneering efforts and
for believing in Nigeria. The Ministry of Communications will partner with
