TINU SANDA: WELCOME ON BOARD

One day, I went to see my big brother, Dere Otubu, who had just been appointed Chairman of Eko Disco. When I entered,

I saw a very beautiful woman waiting to see him. You know me, I am a curator of African beauty. As I rushed in, I shouted. Lord who be that for your waiting room o. She be like a Nobel Prize winner. He smiled and said that it is Dr. Tinu, get to know her, something big is about to happen. He took me back and introduced me to her and she gave me her card. When you see intellectual power, you can feel it instantly. The confidence, the boldness and the lack of arrogance is unmistakable. It’s the people that have fufu in their brain that will be doing, “what is wrong with you?” Anyways, that time I was looking for support for my Warri play. So, I just moved on to Dere. That was how the appointment was later announced. Dr. Tinu is now the substantive Managing Director at Eko Disco, the most profitable of such in the country as I hear. Kai, I went straight to her profile and I want to die. Masters in Business Admin with specialty in Strategic Planning from the Edinburgh Business School, Herriot Watt. She also did Harvard Business School and a doctorate in Financial Management and Entrepreneurship among a series of professional memberships including ICAN, ICA and IPFM. Please google to know their full names, I am tired abeg. From banking where she had stints with Standard Chartered and Access Bank, she moved to Eko Disco where she progressed very steadily till this emergence. Lovely. I wish her well. If I had listened to Dere that day, I for lock am up o. Now, I don’t even have her number o and my Estate Chairman Kayode just asked me, “Duke, you know anybody for Eko Disco, we need pre-paid o.” Kai.
