The Hon. Minister also showered encomiums on the Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation for the landmark investment in YUBOSS – a move which, in his opinion, will go a long way in aiding the government’s efforts at job creation. Also speaking, Barr. Shittu expressed the commitment of the Ministry of Communications to partner with Yudala and the Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation (LSEF) in further growing Nigeria “Part of our mandate in the Ministry of Communications is to increase the contribution to Nigeria’s GDP through partnerships with the ICT sector and especially e-commerce which is enjoying huge investments and growing at an astronomical rate in the country.“I must commend the Management of Yudala for creating a viable platform such as YUBOSS to empower our youths and my good friend, Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation for his many pioneering efforts and for believing in Nigeria.
