According to him “What a sadden fate that has befell this young man. I taught Dauda Saidu vulcanizing skill and he graduated after he acquired all the needed skills to stand on his own.
“Sadly less than twenty four hours for him to open his workshop he was involved in a ghastly motorcycle accident along check point road in Okene where he lost his right hand on the spot of the incident.
“Dauda remained in Okene hospital for upward of one year before he was discharged. Being a determine person who always want to pursue his ambition, he against all odds still chose to practice his trade with one hand. Every body including me that trained him did not believe that he can still do the job after loosen one hand.
“Alas with faith and the passion he had for the job, he was able to put body and soul together to practice the trade and through the job he was able to marry and gave birth to children some of the children are even in secondary school.
“Ironically just four days for this young man to receive a gift of his life , a working tolls that is capable of changing his life for better then another accident came to further distance this young man from receiving the tools.
