President Bola Tinubu has said that his name deserves to be in the Guinness World Records (GWR).

According to the President, this is due to his economic reforms as the governor of Lagos State between 1999 and 2007, which, he said, later made Nigerians elect him as President last February.

At the 10th German-Nigerian Business Forum on Tuesday, President Tinubu said that his track records should earn him recognition in the GWR.

“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.

President Tinubu’s comments came as Nigerian and German companies sealed two pivotal agreements in Berlin on Tuesday.

 

The first agreement between Riverside LNG of Nigeria and Johannes Schuetze Energy Import AG of Germany, will see the supply of gas from Nigeria to Germany.

 

The second agreement between Union Bank of Nigeria and DWS Group, will see $500 million worth of renewable energy projects invested in Nigeria.
