Nigerian student who went into shoemaking thanks to ASUU strike
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported about a Nigerian student who took advantage of the ASUU strike to venture into shoemaking.
The hardworking Nigerian man said that he already had shoemaking in mind before graduation. Olayinka revealed that his first interest was in bag making but that changed when the cost of apprenticeship was high.
Olayinka stated that it has truly not been easy juggling the two tasks together. He always makes use of the free time holidays and lecture-free weeks offer to work more on his craft.
Speaking about the photo of the shoe he shared on Twitter, he said that placing a price on the footwear came from him looking at the materials involved in the making of the shoe.
