Dr. Otete Albert Richards

I had the priviledge of directly supervising Ricson while at Stanbic Bank for a period of about four years upto 2007. Ricson was a risk professional whose insights helped our risk-based audit approach. His exposure in auditing, risk and business in the banking sector put him in good stead for further career growth and value to his employers.
