Ngu Morcho - Tagos Africa

He grew up in a Cameroon village in a family that valued education. He attended college in the U.K., and years later earned his M.B.A. at Rice University and studied entrepreneurship, hoping to one day return home to help his fellow Africans. As democracy has grown throughout the country, so has entrepreneurship. And Ngu Morcho is right in the middle of it, through his efforts with the Tagos Group. Russ interviews an entrepreneur with a remarkable story.
