How long have you been on this job?
I have been a communicator via different platforms such United Nations special agencies, TV and career shifts for three years. However, T.C.C came on board this year with a lot of transformational agendas and activities.

Highlights of your job…
A lot! It’s not just a job, it’s what I breathe, eat and live for. It is called PURPOSE. Combining my passions and interest to create service, satisfaction and growth to especially young people like myself is fulfilling.

Downsides of your job
Developing in what ever you do isn’t supposed to be all candy and sugary so there are no downsides on this job but challenges and hurdles and it’s not impossible to fall and still crossover! Wax stronger, soar higher and keep aiming beyond your imagination.

If you weren’t doing this, what will you be doing?
Steve Harris, my big buddy always says “It’s not what you don’t have that limits you, it’s what you have but don’t know how to use” So I am doing all I can at the moment and only trying to figure out the other potentials I have got.

On a scale of 1-10, how would you grade your skill set on this job?
7.0. I still be “pikin”, very young and won’t stop learning until I die, so I am ready for growth.

I’m living my career dream. Yes?No?
Yes “ofkess”!Abuja-20131105-00266

6; 30 – 7am. Awake, pray, skip and shower.

From 7am down to 5; 45m. I’m caught up with either school duties as I am also a part three student of political science or tied up with work engagements and trouble making sessions.

6:00pm – 7pm. Time for mass! I have 24 hours in a day so dedicating one hour or more for God everyday won’t hurt

7pm – 11;45pm. Home, Dinner, study, TV, social media and look for more trouble with my roommate till I sleep off!
