courage at home

I travelled to Ekiti state with my entire office for our annual retreat. Not only was it great to leave Abuja for a tiny bit, it was lovely to be in my home state. The food was beyond delicious, as is the case when in Ekiti! I met up some of my family members and of course, they hooked me up with Suya on my first night! You just gotta love family!

We stayed at Afe Babalola University (ABUAD) which boasts a breathtaking campus and amazing university in Ado. The history of this young but impressive institution is quite inspirational and I got to speak with the courageous Founder and President, Aare Afe Babalola on many occasions. Seriously, there is no excuse for not doing, starting or achieving your dreams! The retreat was also a great opportunity to bond with my colleagues and discuss approaches to improve our work and efficiency. 

The trip back to Abuja was quite long but all in all, it was a memorable week and a truly unforgettable experience.
