A 17-year-old teenager from Edo state, Dauda Abusali, is a perfect example of what a nurtured skill can turn out to become.
Dauda said that he started drawing when he was in primary school. In his conversation with YEN.com.gh, he said that he used to love drawing cartoons as a child.
He said that after he wrote his junior WAEC, he was made to go to science class because of his result even though he would have loved to study the art.
Seeing the work of Charles Laveso on YouTube in 2020 was a big exposure to the possibilities of expanding his skill.
