The corporate gamechanger on this episode is Kenneth Erikume, a partner with the Tax unit of PricewaterhouseCoopers Nigeria. He is an expert in tax, mergers & acquisitions, as well as regulatory and transfer pricing issues.
Kenneth got his first job as a volunteer computer teacher in his local church in Warri. He was also a well sought-after teacher and after-school teacher at the time.
All of the work experience gained as a teacher however improved his chances when he got the opportunity to interview with PwC Nigeria. Even though Kenneth graduated from the University of Benin with a 2:2, he had set his eyes for the top right from the start and he is now a globally recognized tax expert with many years of experience in dealing with tax issues for companies across Africa.
