Thank you for your point my brother, Tom may be able to turn Trancorp around in the long run, but it will be easier for him to start and manage a new company than to turn Transcorp around. Though Transorp is now a private sector company e.g Nitel, many of its staff and even the goverment still treat it like a public sector/civil service company. And to succeed in Nigeria's peculiar business terrain, he has to be politically and politrickally inclinde. so i hope he is? He is welcomed.
