Mr Waff: I just remain focused on what I do because I work with a master mind.
TWG: How were you able to establish the company considering the harsh economic realities in the country? Tell me your story.
Mr Waff: I had the vision of the company way back in my university days, I started writing all I wanted to do in my diary not considering the fact that at that time I didn’t have money to make it happen. I just believed that all I needed to do was to write it down, for the money to execute it will surely come. It takes faith and prayers. For me, success and failure is in the heart if you believe you can, then you can. So there are no limitations with me. I remember those days in Uniabuja, I started making awards for various departments and before I could say jack, I was known as the award maker in school.
TWG: How old is your company and what is the selling point of the company?
Mr Waff: Officially, it is two years old and unofficially, it is five years old. The selling point is our fast rising profile. We are working on something big underground with my friend in the Uk, Mr Kast. We are keeping our fingers crossed, I will let the cat out of the bag in due time.
TWG: Thank you for your time. God bless you.
Mr Waff:God bless you too.
