Osisiye Tafa, Access Bank staff publishes national bestseller

Cultural enthusiast and blogger, Osisiye Tafa recently published his first book, a creative non-fiction title; ‘Sixty Percent of a True Story’. His genius lies not in the easy flow of words, humour of his stories but the fact that he published this while in the employ of a bank.

Sixty Percent of a True Story’ profiles the undergraduate years of three students in the cosmopolitan University of Lagos. It captures that phase when they are introduced to society, religion, politics and the city of Lagos. It is a story of youth and aging, knowledge and ignorance, dreams and hustle. The novel is set in the University of Lagos in the years spanning 2006 to 2010. This later expands to the twin mega cities of Lagos and Abuja. 

Osisiye who enjoys an exciting life as a blogger and dog trainer works out of the Corporate Communication unit of Access Bank Plc.

Access Bank has been at the forefront of the social development of its staff as can be seen in its recent construction of a gym, crèche and sports at the office premises. Osisiye joins a lineage of Access Bank staff who have achieved success on the job and in their passions.

The book which has enjoyed positive independent reviews from The Guardian and Thisday Newspaper is available on Amazon, Konga, Terra Kulture and Patabah bookstores.
