These skills, indeed, have been crucial to the success the company has had in expanding sales and market share to an increasingly astute and affluent clientele base. Indeed your sales and marketing strategies have proved invaluable in these regards and are a testimony to your exemplary professionalism.”

Speaking to the media after the event, Ms. Abodakpi said the honour has challenged her to do more, adding, “my advice is to learn as much as you can from anyone. One of the things that really helped me was my apprenticeship. I got the opportunity to be mentored on this job and it helped maximize my potential. To all the women out there, you need a mentor. Just be humble and learn and once can be a good student, eventually you’d become great”.
