Five months ago, I joined a company thinking I knew what my job would be.
I was wrong.
I started by supervising stock counting.
A few weeks later, I transitioned into Product Management.
Then came one of the biggest projects of my career, helping businesses prepare for Nigeria's NRS e-Invoicing initiative.
Looking back, one lesson stands out.
You don't have to know everything before saying yes to an opportunity.
Sometimes, growth begins the moment you decide to learn.
I shared the full story on LinkedIn.

He celebrates his wife’s 55th birthday and wishes her many more happy years. His wife also worked with AIT before she relocated abroad.
Only Yoruba OGs will know his name 🙌🏻
Can you tell us his name?
