According to him, he faced a harsh reality seven years ago, after concluding his NYSC program, with no decent accomodation, sleeping in makeshift shelters. "Out of NYSC, 7 years ago, barely had savings no roof over my head as I had to sleep in shanks and stalls around Sandfill, V.I, for months, as that was the only way the meagre salary would cater to my feeding," he reminisced.
