An artist famous for drawing commercial vehicle conductors for free in Ghana is doing the same thing in Lagos, Nigeria.

In the video shared by Enil Art, the conductor took the drawing and gave it to his driver, who looked happier than the conductor.
When the artist extended his arm to the conductor, the driver stretched his hand to fist-bump the Ghanaian for his sketch.
Several passengers who also joined the commercial vehicle were amazed that Enil Art drew the conductor in such a short time.
Most of them asked Enil Art to draw them since they appreciated what he did for the conductor and wanted to experience the same.
