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 businessmanย revealed that he had nurturedย the passion for businessย from a very tender age asย he engagedย in different small businesses.
The graduate of Economic and Statistics from the University of Benin said heย 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 sinceย 2013,ย 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 suchย 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 collarย job seeker.
“Most youth are yet to identify their innateย 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 ofย the public to avoid bush burning,ย excess lumbering and deforestation, which according to him are affecting charcoal business in Nigeria.
