“What I see here today is an example of what Nigeria can achieve with vision. I could not have imagined what I’m seeing here today, it’s absolutely impressive. You have shown that Nigerians are associated with excellence. What I’m seeing here could be in the city of London, it could be in New York, it could be in Tokyo or it could be in Lagos and it’s in Lagos. A hearty congratulation to GTI, I’m overwhelmed with what I’m seeing,” Oteh said.
