Chief Olatunde Badmus, the Asiwaju Musulumi of Yorubaland, is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tuns Group of Companies. Badmus, who holds two honorary doctoral degrees from Fountain University, Osun State, and Alex Ekwueme University, Ebonyi State, speaks to TOFARATI IGE about his business, the economy, life at 75 and other issuesMy thanks go to the Almighty Allah for keeping me till this age. The average lifespan of Nigerians is believed to be about 60 years.
With the benefit of hindsight, is there any business you regret going into and is there any business you wished you had gone into but didn’t? One has to put everything before the Almighty Allah. As a Muslim, the first thing one you should do every morning is to say the morning salat . When one does that, one would have put whatever is in one’s mind into the hands of God. Prayer should come first before one does anything.When was the farm established?
Do you think the poultry farming sector is better off without the influx of chicken from neighbouring countries even when we cannot meet local demands? The President depends on statistics given to him but as far as we are concerned in our local farming environment, I don’t think so. Hardly does any graduate want to stay on the farm. When you employ them, they would hardly spend a year before quitting. However, I know the president has his statistics because the government has so many programmes for youth empowerment. But, I’m yet to see the effect.I don’t have an answer because the youths of today want high-profile jobs and quick money.
