According to him, "I pride myself in being resilient and showing the world over time, that ‘No’ is not an answer for me. I attribute this to my beloved Mum and my late Dad. From an early age, it was showed to us that you can be anything you want to be. The fact that I was a last born too must have helped! I count myself fortunate to have a supportive wife, sisters, sister-in-law and father-in-law too. Without them I would not have been able to overcome tremendous challenges along the way. And with God’s faithfulness, I have been able to achieve a lot. Watch out for more!
