Q: What prompted you to become an Entrepreneur?
A: I worked for a few people and it was in my time at Dangote that I reflected and asked myself if hard work and a place in education are the same. I concluded they weren’t hence went back to school to get my degree, rose up to management level in the company before resigning to start MICURA SERVICES LTD and the rest is history.
Q: You are also known for your philanthropy.
A: Personally, I don’t speak much on a lot of what we do to give back to the society but as someone that came from nothing, it’s important to uplift others. We have foundations that are involved in various philanthropy and many find out when they come across it but I can tell you we are always involved in the society.
