Thanks to the CSH, Ondo & Ekiti States.
Rumours were in the air about the coordinator of the VIPL-EU programme, Mr. Tunji Raphael. He was leaving BEDC they said. Every rumour had turned out true. He confirmed it the day he sent a mail to me requesting that I come to the Head Office for a handover session. Really! He was going to hand over to me?
That was some weeks back. I started the programme coordination. There were 28 trainees I was to start with. One didn't make it to the camp the first day (Chukwuma Offor...He made it with the next batch).
I informed HR about him that night I remember and they said he didn't inform them. Mama K said he would have to join the next batch. That was how he exited. Another trainee was unruly, disobeyed the boot camp coordinator who reported him at the Head Office. He was also pulled out of the training also.
Coordinating the programme has given me a different view of it. I was here over 3 years ago undergoing the training and could only look at things from that view. Now coordinating involved mentoring the trainees, listening to issues raised, contacting lecturers, fixing logistics, submitting weekly reports, relating with the staff of the core business partner (EU staff) who I needed to do different things at intervals and making sure everyday went as planned (not all the days did).
I still keep in touch with Mr. Tunji especially when I get to point I can't handle. He has been helpful.
