A FEMALE GRADUATE MICHELLE EKURE TURNED SHOEMAKER
 |
Michelle Ekure, said that her inspiration is from God, that
she never knew she would be a shoemaker. I graduated from the University six
years ago, after which I looked for job, but to know avail, she said in an
interview with Lukmon of Wazobia Global Times USA.
"She also said that within that period
she got employed by a company in Lagos,
but the boss was owing too much so because of that she left the company. On how
it started, there is this other company I buy sandals in Lagos
and resell. They sell nice shoes, so one day I thought to myself that I can
tell this people to make sandals for me with my label, so I approached them and
they said yes. That was how I got my first set of shoes. Then a friend
introduced me to a guy that makes shoes. I watch him make shoes one day and I
was amazed then I asked him to teach me and he did." She said, that is how
the shoe maker career started.
Michele's makes around 50 pairs of shoes a week and has 6 apprentices
working for her. She also advices young graduate that still looking for jobs:
"She said that she always tell people that she come in
contact with, that are looking for job to start something, anything you are
good at can bring money to you or just learn a trade.
