“Significance comes to a man or woman when you take up an assignment that can shape the destiny of others with your own resources, not just by making one donation but committing your whole life to the enterprise; that is how to gain significance. Just like Rochas Okorocha, who started the Rochas Foundation at the age of 37, who now has over 13 tuition free schools across 10 states of Nigeria, and this includes the Rochas Foundation College of Africa”
