An encounter with him at any point leaves an indelible impression, infectious optimism, positive energy, charisma, leadership, humility, large-heartedness.

    "I first met Tony as a student on a design history course run by the university’s Department for Continuing Education. As we were about to start the first session Tony walked in announcing; “I’m Tony Ezekiel and I’ve just flown in from Nigeria” I soon realised that I had a star in the class. It is thus a privilege and a real pleasure to know Tony"

    "All that know Tony remark on both his wisdom and generosity. His is not a selfish success; it is rather an example of the very best kind of entrepreneurial leadership. When we studied together at Oxford, Tony’s common sense and experience-based observations were instructive to us all. I am honoured to offer this brief testimonial to Tony Ezekiel, successful African business leader".
