I was driving into my estate and he opened the gate. Gentleman and easygoing. I stopped to ask his name. “My name is Sam” (not real name), he answered. You’re new? “Yes”, he answered again.

She had made concerted efforts to get my attention but because I am based in Abuja, we really did not get a convenient arrangement. At some point, I visited Lagos. As at that time, I had not met Stella (our now COO) and Tunde (our last Director of Programmes).
