"“I would rank Michael as probably one of the more pragmatic finance managers i have worked with. In a difficult region like Sub Saharan Africa which has always had a very eclectic mix of countries, Michael was very proactive to understanding the regional support that i sought for Nigeria/West Africa cluster of countries. I wish him the very best in all his future endeavours.” " - 2009
