Mr Tony Elumelu, Chairman of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, has shared a video of himself giving his son a new haircut.

In the short video posted on his Instagram page on Tuesday, the renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist could be seen calmly holding a clipper while cutting his son’s hair.

In a terse post accompanying the video, the 57-year-old Banking guru and business mogul reflected on how the coronavirus pandemic which had forced people to stay at home has made him a “multi-skilled” professional.uba

“After Madam braided the girls’ hair, my turn to cut the boys’ hair! COVID-19 is making us multi-skilled. #TOEWay #Family #ElumeluBoys,” he wrote.

Mr Elumelu has continued to make the headlines for his numerous contributions to the empowerment of people, especially the youths across the continent. He is the founder of Tony Elumelu Foundation, an African private-sector-led philanthropy empowering African entrepreneurs to create jobs in the continent.
