  1. Great connecting with you here, Roman.

    I should commend you for putting up this. I was quoting part of these statistics on TVC News this morning (Thursday 2nd September 2021) as a guest Development Analyst and Leadership Strategist.

    Permit also to use portion of these statistics in my column in the Nation newspaper on Sunday under the banner: “Followership Challenge”.

    Please connect with me on LinkedIn.

    Thank you.
