During a recent NAN interview, the young food vendor revealed that the prolonged strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) afforded him the opportunity to begin the endeavour, adding that he utilised the period of the COVID-19 lockdown to start an egg and chicken distribution business.
He noted that he began selling food around the Diplomat area in Sokoto metropolis after he decided to engage himself in productive living, since February 14, when the ASUU strike began.
Rimi noting that the strike has made Nigerian students become redundant said he has also expanded his food business. Adding that since the strike action by ASUU commenced he has managed to employ eight people in his shop.
His words:
“I hired a shop, employing eight people manning tea and Indomie joints, selling bottled and canned drinks, masa, rice and beans, pepper soup and meat along with the Point of Sale (POS) business. “A plate of food sells from N200 and above depending on the needs of the customer.”
