As indicated in the book, no changes have been made to my original account. I served the airline from 1979 to 1995, leaving when the work environment, particularly within Human Resources, became unbearable. While working as an Administrative Officer in the Motor Transport section, I often stayed late to ensure all vehicles on assignment returned to base. Unfortunately, some drivers exploited the system by swapping new tyres with worn ones and stealing essential tools like spanners and jacks daily. After I transferred out of Motor Transport, the section was taken over by Mr. Ewurum, who replaced me with his kinsman, Ugbaja. T his experience taught me that life is often a cycle that demands endurance. At the General Affairs section, I dedicated myself to excellence and made it a point to avoid any situations that could lead to blame or disciplinary actions. Leading a sharp team required extra effort and vigilance. On Sundays, after church, I would drop by the office to review the contents of my staff's desks. I occasionally found unauthorised documents, especially relating to family registrations, and discreetly noted them for follow-up. My diligence ensured that any potential issues were addressed without confrontation, as it is 280 ABOUT THE AUTHOR often the person who signs off on improper paperwork who faces the consequences, not the one who prepares it. I also served as a Protocol Officer, managing logistics for foreign aircraft hired to transport passengers. On several occasions, I had to process requests for funds in U.S. dollars to accommodate international flight crews at the Sheraton Hotel, as the hotel would not accept payments in Naira or offer credit. Navigating the airline's bureaucracy was often frustrating, with sections treating my requests as though I were seeking personal benefits. Despite these challenges, I persevered, regularly meeting flight crews at the airport as early as 5:00 a.m. and staying on-site until their aircraft cleared Nigerian airspace. On three occasions, I narrowly escaped armed robbery attempts while commuting in the early hours.
