• Reviewed and advised on the changes necessary to restructure the organization so as to be efficient in facing out the challenges of the liberalized market.
• Analyzed the current operational costs and proposed changes to minimize costs and hence boost revenue.
• Proposed changes on the company’s management information system which would bring operational efficiency which was important in facing the future challenges.
