Austen-Peters made this revelation while speaking at The Covenant Nation’s national development fair Platform on Monday.
While noting that the story is not the same today, she hailed the Nigerian youths for transforming their talents into wealth. She said it is about time Nigeria looked away from oil wealth and focus on innovation and knowledge acquisition as the next wealth creator for the country just like the United Arab Emirates did.
“It is our youth in technology, creativity, and arts that are selling the Nigerian brand today,” she said.“They came with four artistes, Wizkid, Ice Prince, Wande Coal, and one more person. Guess how much I paid 13 years ago, N250,000 for all of them? “Today, I dare not even ask that they come and play for me. The beauty of our youths is that they have been able to transform their talents into wealth and that is something that is commendable and that we all need to start understanding.”Trump arrives New York court for civil fraud trialTrump arrives New York court for civil fraud trial
