Law Student Shows off His Farm, Says it has been His Job since ASUU Strike

A young Nigerian law student identified as Daniel Gbenda has proudly taken to social media to show off his farm work.

The Benue varsity undergraduate stated that farming is the work he has been doing since the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) embarked on strike in February.

While sharing a video of him making beds for planting with a hoe on a piece of land, said though he is not financially buoyant, he is always proud of what he is doing.

The law student stated that he had actually considered going into farming long before President Buhari urged youths to venture into it. 

He wrote: “I’m not rich, I was born in the land long before Buhari said we have to go back to the land.
I am super proud of what I do, have been back home since ASUU strike farming.“
