In a video circulating online, the woman praised Afia’s hard work and loyalty, explaining that she had never encountered such a faithful worker.

According to her, Afia would often open the shop earlier than the official time, showing remarkable commitment and responsibility.

The woman, who often leaves the shop in Afia’s care due to her other businesses, expressed how impressed and grateful she is to have employed someone like Afia.

The gesture came as Afia prepared to leave work to further her education a moment her madam described as bittersweet.

“She is one girl I have never regretted employing. It’s painful to realise she’s leaving,” the woman said emotionally.

She also encouraged Afia to reach out anytime she needed help while in school.

“Afia, I’m always available for you. Call me when you need something. God bless you for working this hard.”
