I WAS ONCE ON THE STREET SEEKING A JOB -- SULAIMON MUSTAPHA (BATCH 42)

Sulaimon is an SSCE Holder from Isah Williams High School, Iponri. Having worked as a cashier at KC Gym Limited, and sales attendant at Royal Philip Trading Company, Mustapha made us understand the road to success is no joke. Self-motivated and committed to learning soft skills, after being on the street, hustling, Mustapha was introduced to WAVE by an alumnus, Taiwo Ogooluwa.

Mustapha’s decision to get trained on soft skills, and also be connected to a job within the retail and/or hospitality industry made him apply for the program. His expectation to join the program was to get a job and this changed while on the training. Thus, he saw the training as a medium to perform professionally on the job and also develop himself personally. The major challenge he had doing the training was to wake up early, which was unusual for him. He had to apply the skill of time-management to arrive at the training on-time. He boarded two buses to and fro daily from Makoko to the training at Yaba.

Mustapha found the training both educative and exciting because he was newly exposed to teamwork, time-management, problem-solving, effective communication, emotional intelligence and Microsoft excel learning.

Upon completing the training, he job-shadowed at an accounting firm, Itunu Rewane and Co., as a consultant, where he was introduced to payroll and PAYE tax. His dream job is to be an accountant in a big, well-structured organization. Mustapha has taken a step to arrive at the dream job by enrolling for ICAN.

Currently, Sulaimon Mustapha works as an audit trainee at Itunu Rewane and Co, where he job-shadowed. He has been able to learn more on the job, most especially things related to auditing and taxation.

Sulaimon Mustapha supports his family financially in his own little way and his advice to unemployed youth is: “never to give up and always believe in God and make sure you go through WAVE training so as to be fully prepared for the workplace.” . At leisure, he is passionate about producing music and hopes to take his music career to the highest level someday.
