Sadia recounted that she relocated to Accra after divorcing her husband, with whom she had a daughter. She said she was able to cater to her daughter's education up to nursing college.

How Alimatu Sadia started the business

Before venturing into her current business, she borrowed the initial capital to start very small. Sadia revealed that life has been very hard for them.

“I’ve suffered with my daughter. During her junior high school years, she would wake up at 3:00 am to buy bread for me because I had no workers. Because of this, she was frequently late and was caned. I didn’t want to stop because I wanted her to have an educational foundation and go far,'' she told Joy Prime.

After high school, Sadia's daughter got the opportunity to continue at a nursing training college and is now working. ''She's now married with two kids,'' she said.
