The young man who studied Insurance at Ibadan Polytechnic, now Oke Ogun Polytechnic, Saki has risen to the occasion as he sells zobo with his mother.

In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, Mustapha whose father is late said his inability to raise funds to start up the business properly on his own meant he had to work with his mum.

He wants to brand the zobo making
The optimistic man who rounded off his NYSC in October 2020 spoke on his plans to get the business branded.

He however lamented that he lacked the money to carry this out.

“…But the issue is that I don’t have enough funds to carry out the task.

“Things like sealing machine, plastic and other important equipment needed for the business.”
