“Let us continue to work hard to reach even greater heights in 2024.”

He appreciated members of staff for their dedication, creativity, and hard work, saying these had been the driving force behind the company’s success.

“Every one of us has important roles to play in the new year and I am confident that together we will achieve the change we desire,” Oguntona said.
