I thank God, Otunba Balogun, Tayo and a few others supported my bounce back, earning me a treasure trove of hard experiences.
I pray that the new generation of bankers will learn from their doyen and more clearly understand the linkages between financial transmissions and the economy. Banks cannot thrive without genuine entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs cannot accelerate growth without the leverage of supportive banks.
All around me were financial institutions trying to recover their loans before what they thought would be the inevitable crash of my businesses. I looked up and said, “God Almighty, there is always Hope but where will it come from?” It came through two truly distinguished top brass bankers, who understood real entrepreneurship:was one of them; the other was Tayo Aderinokun, both now of blessed memory.
After the death of Sir Michael, I gravitated towards Otunba for counsel during trying situations or the need to take critical decisions. He usually will start by holding my hands and leading me to his kneelers for prayers.
