Kemi Laleye
When I joined the career nuggets mentorship programme a lot changed in my career — I was challenged to be more confident and determined in achieving my goals. I have had the opportunity to listen to other mentors, role play, volunteer, network and these have helped me in addition to my faith get me where I am in my career…
Olubanke Ajeyalemi
I was feeling quite disillusioned, lacked confidence and was unsure if I had anything of value to bring to the table. The sessions with Mrs Ajayi and the mentors were a great source of insight to me and I came away from the sessions empowered and ready to take action… put me in good stead to not just secure my next role but also increase confidence.

Elizabeth Dada
I had some issues at work with progression. I called and she pointed out that I should consider either moving departments or searching externally. Base on our conversation and her advise I followed through and had chat with one of my Programme Managers and she agreed to be a mentor. I will definitely recommend her service to anyone that wants to break the barriers in their chosen career.
