Bola Tinubu, National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC has revealed how he became a rich man.
In his lengthy interview with TheNews Magazine the Jagaban, as Tinubu is popularly called, revealed the source of his first millions. He claimed that hard work for an auditing giant, Deloitte and Touche, made him an “instant millionaire”.
“At Deloitte and Touche, I chose to travel more than 80% of my working years there. And that is because if a staff chose to travel, he would make more money because he would get travel allowances,” Tinubu said.
Tinubu said he was sent on an assignment to help set up an accounting and auditing system for a joint-venture between National Oil and Aramco in Saudi Arabia.
''We had gone there to set up their accounting and auditing system. It was while on that service that I got my financial break. When I returned to the United States, my employers gave me a huge bonus, which instantly turned me into a millionaire. The bonus was $850,000, before taxes. My salaries were also being paid into the bank and I was not touching them. At the time, my salary deposits in the bank had risen to about $1.8 million.”
