Tinubu tells Nigerians in India, I was a brilliant student back in school

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu revealed to Nigerians living abroad on Thursday (today) that he was a stellar student in his earlier years.

The G-20 Summit is currently taking place in India, according to reports about the Nigerian president.

But on Thursday night, Tinubu met with a number of Nigerian students who were studying in India and warned them that they could succeed in their chosen fields if they put in the necessary effort, were honest with themselves, were determined, and changed their perspectives.

“I am happy to stand before you as the President of Nigeria. A good education got me here. I got off slow. I worked in security. At school, I was a tutor. I did extremely well in school. Because of my education, I was trained by one of the largest accounting firms in the world when I joined Deloitte.
