My achievements in Lagos deserves recognition by Guinness World Records - Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has said that his achievements in Lagos state earns him the recognition to be in the Guinness Book of Records.

He said this while speaking at the 10th German-Nigerian Business Forum in Berlin on Tuesday.

According to Tinubu, his track record for turning Lagos state into one of the fifth-largest economy in Africa from zero should earn him the recognition and if he is not recognized, he would thrive to ensure that his name is inserted in the historic Guinness World Records.

He said this major move was the reason Nigerians elected him as President to replicate that change for the entire country.

“For those who fear various obstacles; look at me, I come from the private sector, trained by Deloitte. I served as the treasurer in Exxon Mobil. Define corporate governance in any way, and I am in it.

“I governed Lagos for eight consecutive years. Today, I can proudly beat my chest that Lagos state is on the horizon and the fifth-largest economy in Africa, rising from zero. This is the track record that led me to the presidency.

“Nigeria voted for me for reforms and from day one of my inauguration, I started the reform. To me, if you didn’t mention me in the Guinness Book of Records, I’d thrive to find a way to insert myself because I did it without expectation,” he said on a lighter note.

The President made this known as Nigerian and German companies sealed two agreements which was between Riverside LNG of Nigeria and Johannes Schuetze Energy Import AG of Germany.

This deal will see the supply of gas from Nigeria to Germany.

Also, President Tinubu signed another agreement between Union Bank of Nigeria and DWS Group, which will see $500 million worth of renewable energy projects invested in Nigeria.
