Ayo: Hmmm… The exciting memorable experience I could not forget is when I was transferred to work directly with the Internal Control Director. the I am still working under him and report directly to him, almost 80% of NCS staff discourage me not to going and working with him I later ask why the only excuse I could remember was you can last working with him because you can’t satisfy him and he will end up sacking you before 6 months. Then you know what if you don’t get close to someone you wouldn’t understand the person although my boss is tough to work with but the sample in the other side if only you can follow instructions as lay down by him and always be honest in all what you do and you should also think outside the box when working with him lastly you have to always thing above him.

Congratulations on your achievement sir.
ICD is someone people afraid to work with, but the hidden truth is that there is no way you will with him directly and you will not fulfill in life.
I had the opportunity to work with him directly when I was working with NCS and, I can tell you that he was really a very nice man. He will teach you how to do things, give you the opportunity to do it on your own, go back to him as many time as possible to seek for more clarity, etc.
You can only run into his trouble if you claim to know something without knowing anything !
