'Ridiculously Enterprising' is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Osaretin. I had the pleasure of working with Osaretin for a month at my local organization- JCIN UNIBEN, collaborating on a project team. I was particularly impressed by Osaretin's ability to handle and meet task deadlines even in the face of being short noticed —effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among student leaders, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to him. And of course his ability to ignite team spirit when team members have lost the drive. As a team member or a leader, Osaretin will fit into any role requiring critical thinking, great team spirit and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
