Reminiscences
LIFE AND TIMES OF BEN OFUNGWU SR.
An Autobiography
REMINISCENCES
Reminiscences chronicles of life in colonial and early post-colonial Nigeria, delving into the trauma and vicissitudes of a young man. It is a story that emphasizes the need for quality education and training, preparatory for adult life, and the emergence of a mature mind, willing to take on family responsibilities bequeathed to him.
There is the usual executive warfare that is quite common in most local and international organizations and the triumph thereof. The story of ISN Products Nigeria Ltd is that of hope and tenacity in building a new organization. ISN is today a market leader in the medical diagnostic products marketing and distribution and has now passed to the next generation.
There is a lesson on the spiritual aspect of business. We must accept that we just cannot achieve success doing it alone all by ourselves. We always need help from above and should continuously ask for it.
