Another day, another person dragging the Moniepoint CEO. This time, it is a tech lady who is not afraid to call things exactly as she sees them. 🗣️

“You want skillful workers and you don’t want to pay,” she said, looking straight into the camera.
She shared her own story to prove a point. Her first corporate job came with just an SSCE certificate. No degree. No master’s. But her employer focused on her ability, not her papers. She worked alongside BSc holders and got the job done. 🎓✅
