The wife of Chairman, Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN), Kwara State, Deacon Ishola Moses Abiodun, said her passion for fish farming made her passion to solve problems.
According to her, she abandoned teaching after attending a seminar in 2007 where participants were encouraged to diversify into business.
“After sharing the idea with my husband he encouraged me and we prayed over it to seek for God’s direction on the business. Thereafter, we decided to set up a fish pond in our yard and I went for training to garner more knowledge.”
She stressed that her desire to solve a problem in the society motivated her to go into business idea.
“If you foresee a challenge and you grab the opportunity to solve the problem, there is no way people will not appreciate by patronising you.
“Our own dried fish is unique because of the quality. It is well prepared, very neat and clean devoid of stone and smell of smoke,” she said.
The female entrepreneur then advised the youth not to despise days of little beginning but should start something small.
“They should go for training with the mindset of becoming an entrepreneur instead of being a worker. They should also realise that without pain there can never be gain.
