Elumelu - "My Mother Was Kidnapped After I Signed Fertiliser Plant Deal" by mukina2: 9:45pm On Jul 15, 2012
The Chairman of Transcorp Plc., Mr. Tony Elumelu, has said that kidnapping can become a thing of the past if government provides the enabling environment for businesses to thrive.
In posts on Twitter on Saturday about his Africapitalism initiative, Elumelu made reference to his mother’s kidnapping two weeks after a Transcorp subsidiary, Transcorp Energy, signed a deal for an investment in a gas-rich oil block and 2.4 metric tonne gas-powered fertiliser plant in Burutu, Delta State.

Elumelu’s mother was kidnapped from her farm in Onicha-Ukwu, Delta State in April by five gunmen and taken to an unknown destination.

She was rescued after some days.

Reminiscing on the incident on Twitter on Saturday, the former Group Managing Director of UBA Plc said crime had remained a challenge because economic prosperity had not been adequately deployed as a tool for fighting crime.

According to him, Transcorp’s vision is hinged on the fact that where the enabling environment is provided, the private sector will take advantage of it to drive economic growth.

“Two weeks after the plant deal was signed, my mum was kidnapped. Next I got an email asking, ‘Are you sure Delta is the right location for this investment’?

“Thankfully, with the help of Governor Uduaghan and federal security agencies, we were able to deal with that situation very quickly.

“Economic prosperity is the enemy of crime; as we build one, we destroy the other,” he wrote.
