ASUU Strike: 300 Level Mathematics Student Focuses On Fruits Business, Doesn’t Care If Sch Resumes Anymore

A 300-level student of Mathematics at Bayero University, Kano has lamented that his school ID car will soon be out of use and he hasn’t graduated.

The student named Abdulhadi Dankama told Legit.ng that he has used the strike period to reinforce his fruit business which he started in 2020 Dankama said he does not care anymore if the strike ends or not because he has lost interest and that he is trying to focus and build his business.

Abdulhadi Dankama got enrolled in the department of Mathematics at the Bayero University, Kano state to pursue a degree. Dankama would have finished his degree by now if not for the strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities over a disagreement with the Federal Government.

One would think that Dankama who is now in 300-level would be anxious that school should resume so that he can quickly round up his studies.

However, it seems the interest of the young man has waned from his degree pursuit since he said he no longer cares whether school resumes or not.

He has other plans fo his life At the on set of the Covid19 pandemic in 2020, Dankam started a fruit business. He did it in a unique way because he also sold his sumptuous fruits online. When the Covid19 restrictions were eased and school resumed, Dankama did not stop selling fruits.

Instead, he established a stronger brand. He recalled how he started: “I start selling fruits during the lockdown of Covid-19. During the Ramadan months, people were at home due to the pandemic.

They don’t go anywhere. So, that’s when the idea came. I thought since it’s Ramadan (fasting month) and people need fruits, why shouldn’t I try it online?”

He said his online fruit business bloomed during the pandemic since he was delivering free to his customers. He said: “I started it online because I haven’t seen anyone try it. Most of my friends do not believe in the business idea, but I still went for it. They see the business as a low one.”

When Legit.ng interacted with Dankama, it was obvious from the way he spoke that he really loves what he does. He dearly loves the fruit business and plans to expand it. Had it not for the strike, he said he would have finished and exited Bayero university to concentrate on his business as he said he plans to open new branches.

But that was not going to be as ASUU soon embarked on strike. University students including Dankama were frustrated. But it seems Dankama no longer cares what happens in his school because he told Legit.ng that the strike should continue if ASUU wants to extend it.
