His colleagues, who came to
bid him farewell, unanimously spoke of him as a professional to the core, a
humble and disciplined leader, who takes it upon himself to see that
everybody succeeds in their various assigned responsibilities.
The Executive Director,
Group Services, Sifax, Mr. Isaac Orolugbagbe, said
that Deruyver has left indelible mark behind and that the legacy will be
sustained.
Deruyver, according to
Orolugbagbe, whenever one went to him with any proposal, will give
100 percent support.
"I'm very happy
to have had a listening boss like Capt. Luc,’’ Orolugbagbe said.
He said Luc's five-year
tenure in the Sifax Group has seen tremendous improvement in the
organisation, thanking him for his contributions.
A representative of the
Ecobank, Mr Anjorin, described Deruyver as a professional at his job, as
well as being a highly demanding customer who will always want you to show
evidence of completion.
In his own contribution, the
President of the Maritime Reporters' Association of Nigeria (MARAN), Mr
Bolaji Akinola, said that the association has a linkage with Sifax Goup, as
the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, is also the Patron
of MARAN.
Akinola said that Sifax has
grown to become a formidable player in the maritime industry.
According to him, Captain
Luc has provided exemplary leadership while in the saddle.
Going down memory lane, Akinola
said Captain Luc was the first stakeholder to present the first maritime cup
to the Nigerian Navy team which defeated the Sifax team about five years ago.
Responding, Deruyver said
that the tremendous achievements being recorded in the Sifax Group
today owed to unity and cooperation within.
He said
that these achievements could not have been possible if
there was no cooperation.
He said that he
already has employment offers in some companies within and outside
Nigeria.
