RECOMMENDATIONS I interacted with Abraham in an academic context whilst he completed his Master s degree and also whilst he worked on a community-based project post-graduation. Abraham was fully responsible for the conceptualization, design, fund-raising and construction of a Resource/Facilities Space for the secondary school where he served his country during his National Youth service year. He is a man of integrity, is passionate about working with young people to see them envisioned and is committed to assisting them to fulfil their vision. I believe that Abraham would be an asset to any organization with similar goals and aspirations. Lola Adeokun. Architect & Researcher UK REFEREES (1) Engr.
