About Hamidu
Hamidu grew up in a humble family of farmworkers. Being exposed to poverty at a very young age propelled him to harness an insatiable desire to promote positive change in his community. His entrepreneur journey came after dropping out of school when he realized his four siblings had failed to secure jobs after university.
He decided to make his own path of success and started off by recycling waste into valuable paper that he sold in school. He describes this as the moment which unlocked his entrepreneurial talent and set him up well to realize the value of waste in improving lives.
