As a business person, you need to learn, unlearn, relearn to succeed —Tamunowapiri Eli As a business person, you need to learn, unlearn, relearn to succeed —Tamunowapiri Eli Share Tamunowapiri Eli, a graduate of Petroleum Engineering from Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Rivers State, is an entrepreneur and the Chief Executive Officer of ZAtaeFoodmart and Service Hub, who, in this interview by TAYO GESINDE, speaks about how she has been able to maintain a balance between her business and the home front, among other issues. What informed your choice of career? I studied petroleum engineering at the university because I have always been good at mathematics. I am good with numbers, so I knew I would tilt towards engineering and not medicine because I was not good at biology. When I graduated, I did my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme at the Nigerian National Petroleum Commission (NNPC), Abuja. After my service year, I worked at NNPC for nine months before I got married and moved with my husband to Warri, Delta State, in 2010. In Warri, I worked with Lym Consults Limited, a company that was into safety and risk management consulting. From Warri, we moved to Lagos and I got a job at International Energy Services Limited, an engineering consulting firm. That was the last place I worked before I started my own business.
