Borrofice also advised the indigenes of the state to learn from the Igbo’s who are highly industrialized and mentor others on the same business, that the older should mentor the younger ones.
In his words “we need to introduce memorization into business like Igbo will trained their apprentices and later give them seed money to start their new business, so let us be our brothers keeper”.
According to him “all hands must be on deck to lift up akoko land and to see how to encourage our youth and adult in our lands “
Borrofice lauded Ondo State Speaker of House of assembly Hon. Taofik Abusalam for being a good ambassador of Akoko land both at home and abroad.
