The UBA story:
some of us said well, you can't change the country politically, there is a military government in power...but Babangida has given opportunities; so why don't we take a large national institution and see what we can do about changing it and making it better
...bringing all those people together was what I was proudest of. And it convinced me, that what I have always believed...you can bring people together from wherever and have them work together and forget their ethnic background;
On Electric Power:
There is a fundamental difference between telecoms and power, which makes power more complicated.
[For power, we have gas supply, generation, transmission, and distribution all run differently] and for the whole system to succeed all four have to succeed.
On Refineries: There are some countries that can do state institutions, and they do them

On Billionaires: I'm very much against [the] notion
that the higher you're on the Forbes' list the more respected you should be.
