IN SHORT

Gabriel Ogbechie is a modern-day rags to riches success who started out selling bread as a child to help support his family. Today that precious value of humility still carries him forward, along with his zeal for hard work and a strong sense of integrity. “There will always be challenges and stumbling blocks. I take things in their stride, always remembering that the only way to go is forward,” Ogbechie says. “Whatever challenge you face, you must keep striving. Don’t let it bother you, and stay focused on the goal.”
