Philosophy

Togbe's outlook is influenced by a set of beliefs. Among them is his belief that success should be measured not only by the level one has attained, but also by the obstacles one had to overcome while trying to succeed. He sees difficulties as part of life. To him, a new obstacle is only another challenge, and a life that is not tested is not worth living. 
Togbe has a positive attitude. In the conduct of his business, therefore, his focus is on the opportunities, not the difficulties. He believes that success requires hard work, imagination, honesty, altruism, and absolute commitment to one's chosen career.

 

Philanthropy

Togbe also believes that one is not successful until society has benefited from his success. He is therefore happy to share what he has with his community.
