You're focusing on his 1st degree whilst ignoring his other degrees + banking experience. Experience does matter my brother; that's the reason why they say it's the best teacher.

Learning is one thing, applying is another. It's not unusual to see those with a science background ease into commerce unlike the case would have been if it was the other way round. Nevertheless, whilst it's important that people are able to practise what they learned in school instead of the mad one-way rush for banks etc (as we have here presently), we need to reorientate the average Nigerian graduate not to limit their focus - expand your horizon. You will add value when you can apply knowledge you have gained into a particular process. The courses you enroll for only make you specialized so it's assumed you're good in that area, it doesn't limit you. That's why we have 'borrowed' courses in our curricula.

Knowledge is a continuum; learn here and there + be inquisitive in whatever 'sparks up your light'. The day you get to apply these "heres & theres", it'll only make you appear like a genius unbeknownst to others that na 1+1+1 make your 3 big wink




Yes, he's Pascal Dozie's son. There couldn't have been a 'better' time for Dozie to 'emerge' since the former occupant of the post wants to become governor in Abia State.


Some may say 'family business' etc but the bank has given others the opportunity in the past. Family businesses die when imposition takes place - this is not only about imposing the kin on the board; it's also imposing the business on the children. Some employees could become dissatisfied if the succession is not handled properly but in this case, they've positioned the ladder well. He has gone through the ropes and knows his onions. #Merit

1st degree just gives an upper edge but does not guarantee success. Success only comes if you are determine. Success chase Uzoma Dozie because he was fully ready and prepared.

If a driver could bring huge deposit to the bank... he's more recognised dan a bsc waiting for free alert by 23rd of d month. So for chemist to become an MD is no a big deal. We've seen a manager dah owns an hospital, oil n gas n d likes.

I think the topic is a bit misleading, he didn't get the job based on his first degree but from his MBA in management coupled with his experience. But its a good motivation anyway.
