VISION

Committed to excellence, efficient effective; be a value adding, and/or asset to others, and to the world. Always endeavour to – ‘deliver complaints free value-adding engagements; prioritizing; moral and corporate social responsibility goal targets; conscious to matters; integrity, accountability, shared prosperity, human rights, natural and environmental conservation. Daktar gets concerned; whenever parties failed to observe time, for scheduled engagements. Indeed, for scheduled office meetings, he often castigated late participants that – it was unacceptable to turn up late for a meeting. Which by tradition always started with a prayer. Emphasizing that to do so was, tantamount to keeping the almighty God waiting; yet divine intervention was critical and paramount; for successful deliberations. Besides – from a time management perspective – take the case of a branch-staff meeting of a 40 staff-compliment, starting 15 minutes late. This would translate into {15X40} = 600mins!} = equivalent to a significant impact of 10man-hourslateness loss! To Daktar, it is always a cardinal principle, that; whoever we are?; wherever we are? and, whatever we are doing? We must endeavour to do it right, timely and better, and that, at the very least; always aim to leave things better than we had found it. Even if it is as simple as yawning; going for a short call; or as difficult as shutting your mouth in the middle of an argument. Accordingly; always endeavour for a good start, be positive. Create a conducive; environment, atmosphere, and attitude; ready to facilitate fruitful value adding gainful outcomes. Encourage positive communication, to whip up motivation, for instance; the glass is- 1⁄2 full; rather than- 1⁄2 empty. Reported the team was, 2nd runners-up, rather than a distant 3rd; and instead of, mad or mentally disoriented; we can say mentally challenged. What a beautiful inherence for later generations; if only we each succeed to leave behind something good; at least better than we found it.

It is with this background namely; that of seeking to uplift the economic financial capital solutions and availability, to the lower end of the population pyramid; that majorly became Daktar’s primary motivator to write this already famous – ‘Poverty Fighting Analysis Book; focused around the WBG’ mission agenda and poverty alleviation programs. It is noteworthy that – this background already featured prominently in two PhD theses; and consequently formed the backbone of the book’s manuscript. Whereas the WBG poverty eradication strategies’ are extensively covered under these theses, the ideas covered therein goes back to the prior years during the banking career. Wherein, he had gotten encourage and quite moved by WBG organizations’ demonstrated persistent efforts and concern for economic recovery and poverty eradication, almost single-handedly; after World War-2.
