One of her enthusiastic followers said “With Dorcas Bentu on the driving seat of a business event, the business community and the environment stand the chance of benefiting tremendously, now or in the future…

The mood of Dorcas after the meeting is captured in her own word:

“I am just feeling good, having a nice time after this meeting…” 

She was talking to herself and therefore unaware that Scoreline captured it…


 Her day is fulfilled whenever she sees her effort as a meaningful contribution to the growth and sustainable development of business in Plateau State.
