The Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM), Chief Dr. Innocent Chukwuma has urged young Nigerian entrepreneurs to learn from the failures of their mentors and other entrepreneurs.
Speaking during Anaedoonline 2nd Year Anniversary Lecture, the Billionaire Businessmen said that he refuses to accept the idea that Nigeria is a failed nation, noting that the country is a land of opportunities.
He revealed that ever since he started trading and manufacturing, none of his businesses has failed.
“One of the reasons I did not make mistakes when I started business, is because I listen and learnt a lot from my senior brother, Chief Gabriel Chukwuuma (Gabros)”
“Most young entrepreneurs have a lot of ideas, but they fail because most of them don’t have mentors or people to guide them during implementation”
