Control”. He has worked on various other projects that has helped him develop his skills professionally. Tega’s drive for art has made organizations like The Bridge (Lifestyle Hub)
and A Design Award see potential in his creativity. His career direction pushes towards the goal of winning an Oscar Award as a film director. He is always learning, not afraid to fail and there is always an improved version of Tega intellectually, skilfully and emotionally.
