Oluwasikemi’s Story
“I am Oluwasikemi Olarewaju Aworetan, a dedicated Hub Manager at MOPO. My journey with the company began with challenges in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by a diverse group of people. Despite this, the process of integration and acculturation has helped me better understand and appreciate human diversity. These experiences have shaped a smooth ride that continues to this day.
I have learned to work under pressure with little to no supervision, developing tolerance and endurance along the way. This job has provided me the opportunity to enhance my computer skills, particularly in Excel and other essential tools, making me more organised and time-conscious. More importantly, I have improved my interpersonal skills by interacting with people from various backgrounds, tribes, and languages. Additionally, I have broadened my knowledge and orientation in business development.
Self-confidence! Indeed, I am grateful for the confidence I have built in an environment often lacking in gender equality. My training and regular interactions with individuals from diverse backgrounds have enhanced my ability to function effectively in a multidisciplinary and culturally diverse work environment. Above all, I am proud of my professional development and my ability to stand as an independent woman.
Out of my little savings, I have meticulously pursued a skill upgrade in skincare products and now own a walk-in store. Achieving this dream was impossible before my employment at MOPO due to financial limitations. I am thankful to God and MOPO for this opportunity.
Renewable energy is a thriving sector, and solar power is a vital alternative to the collapsed hydropower electricity in Africa, particularly in Nigeria. The bright future at MOPO lies in recognizing these advantages and seizing the opportunity. The larger picture involves diversifying into other solar-enhanced products to stand against stiff competition. With the success rate so far and the team spirit, I foresee a bright future with MOPO, where I aim to deliver quality tasks and contribute significantly to the company's success. ”
