      There should probably be some knowledge to the workers as well. If I'm correct allot of people in Nigeria are poor and will just take about any job and most often I'd imagined they don't get informed about dangerous health hazards , because they are not gonna ask themselves. They are just happy they can feed their families now.

      She should allow people to buy shares in her company through brokers such as; TROVE, BAMBOO, CHAKA AND RISE. This will give the company more capital enough to be able to set up other branches at some other parts of the Country which would simply expand her business, make it grow faster and become popular.

  • @olumuyiwafatoba675

    This was very insightful. What I found particularly interesting was when you asked her about the challenges she faces as a business owner and power was top of the list.
    Running a factory with a diesel generator 80% of the time is a very fast way to kill a business.
    MSMEs remain the lifeblood of our nation and fixing the infrastructure problem should be the priority of the government.
    Hopefully the reforms on power enabling sub-nationals to make investments in collaboration with the private sector begins to provide tailwinds to businesses like hers in the medium term.
    I will visit her factory someday. She is a true patriot and wealth creator.
    Kudos to you for bringing the story of these entrepreneurs to our screens!

    This is a sophisticated multimillion business that can greatly bring in more economic and financial benefits. This can create the employment opportunities our people need
    Our government wouldn't see anything good in this by creating cheap loans and business grants to support this eco- friendly business. I always say it that Nigeria has everything to make it great. Young people,adults, and families don't need to go through the stressful journey of relocation to UK,USA and Canada, etc....
    When we are endowed with huge amounts of opportunities. But bad leadership and insensitive government policies have finished this country . Let take the issue of electricity and security. We have everything to complete in the international market, but the cause of bad leadership has been affecting us.
    This lady needs more assistance from both Nigeria government and international investors to expand her business.
    Welldone for her hard work and business spirit

      Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. Recycling tires into tires since they're a big market in themselves. As the presenter said, car tires are changed every 15 months. It's better and safer to make them into car products because in the homes, these things can leach chemicals, etc. I don't think it's the best to introduce more plastic into our homes. But back into tires is not such a bad idea. Infact, it's a great one. But her creativity and hard work is commendable. I hope she looks into the tire to tire thing.

    Keep it up Steve! I am really proud of you and thank you for this very enlightening piece. Also very refreshing to know we have such an entrepreneur and particularly a female in Nigeria doing great things in the recycling industry. I think state governments should become partners in progress with this lady as a way of encouragement and to enable her boost production and continue to build capacity generally in her business by way of expansion, job empowerment and getting rid of CO2 from the environment, one molecule at a time.
