Hassan said that he had started with the solving of home electrical faults and repairing of electronics for over five years, stressing that he started picking up the damaged electronics and got them repaired without any training or mastery of its perfection from anybody.
On solving of home electrical faults, he said he had currently restricted himself to solving electrical faults belonging to his parents and other members of his family.
On the source of income for the procurement of instruments like the screwdriver, battery, tester, wires, solar and others, he said his father was the one responsible for them and the encouragement coming from his parents is making him to forge ahead.
On patronage, Hassan said his friends, colleagues and school teachers were the ones patronising him for repair of the damaged electronics with little or no complaints.
On ambition, Hassan said he had not currently chosen any course but he aspires to study any of the engineering courses when the time comes.
