The Group Chairman, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, Tony O. Elumelu, has challenged foreign investors to tap into the huge investment opportunities existing in Africa amid the COVID-19 pandemic.   

He made the charge, Thursday, while speaking at a virtual session organised by the TIME100TALKS with the theme: ‘Empowering Entrepreneurs.’

“Challenges exist in Africa, but we have huge returns on investments. There is no better time to make the multi-million dollar bet I made in Africa, than the times we live in now,” he told Kimberly Dozier, a Time Correspondent, who moderated the session.

In his own submission, Bill Gates sought for collaboration between the private and public sectors to end the pandemic, adding, “every country has to think through the right policies to stop the spread, there is need to speed up the process of getting new drugs and vaccines. We need a global response."
