“The quality of a man’s life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence, regardless of his chosen field of endeavour” – Vince Lomardi
Everywhere you go to today, across our beloved country Nigeria, mediocrity and impunity stare you in the face. This sad development which pervades most facets of our national and private lives has now become a Sub-Culture. This also explains why most Nigerians prefer foreign products to Made-In-Nigeria ones, irrespective of price. The reason for this is that the production of most foreign goods are driven by a Culture of Excellence.
It is in our patriotic quest to salvage our country, build a culture of excellence and leave a lasting legacy for future generations that we present to you, THE EXCELLENCE IN LIFE SERIES!
Excellence-In-Life, is not another Certification Course, because when it comes to Excellence, you don’t tender certificates. Excellence is simply about doing things well, and it is WAR AGAINST MEDIOCRITY!
Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude. – Ralph Marston
The EXCELLENCE IN LIFE SERIES, a bi-monthly meeting is the tool by which the visionary, Dr. Femi Paul hopes to eradicate the prevalent Culture of Mediocrity and propagate in its place, the much needed Culture of Excellence. This initiative promises to transform mindsets and inevitably optimize the potential of individuals, institutions and the nation alike.

Mrs. Bukky George
Bukky George is the Founder and CEO of HealthPlus Limited and CasaBella International. She is a registered pharmacist with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain and the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria. She shares the benefits of focus, knowledge, networking and going the extra mile to succeed in life and business.
In 1987, she enrolled at the School of Pharmacy, College of Medicine, now Faculty of Pharmacy, at the University of Lagos to study Pharmacy. In 1992, she graduated with five awards as the best student on completing my Pharmacy degree. She began her internship at Lagos University Teaching Hospital. In the evenings of her Internship year, she got her first hand experience on retail pharmacy, or community pharmacy as some like to call it, at Onyx Pharmacy, GRA, Ikeja. Her national youth service was at Smithkline Beecham – now GSK.
She enjoyed her time in production, quality control and sales departments. After service, she worked at May & Baker for a little while as a medical representative, and then returned to Smithkline Beecham, still as a med rep. The excellent training she received from these organisations helped her to hone my selling, exhibiting and presentation skills; transforming me into a confident young professional. I added value and often emerged the best representative of the month.
