According to Mr Sham’unu Ishaq, he graduated from the Umaru Musa Yar'adua University in Katsina state.
He said he has a Bachelor of Science in education biology, but he has no job, despite his qualifications.
Ishaq called on Nigerians to help him get a good job. He noted that he cannot take care of himself due to poverty.
He said:
“I graduated and had no job and I started hawking pure water sachets for survival,” Ishaq said, describing the challenging conditions he faces in Katsina. “Here in Katsina, there is nowhere to even do something to improve my life.
“The selling of the sachet water business is not even enough. Sometimes the only thing I do with the money is to eat from it; I can’t save anything. As he can see, I graduated from university with no job and poverty is even trying to kill me. This pure water hawking is the only business I relied on for survival for now."
He said he can do any kind of job if anyone is willing to help him get employment.
His words:
“I need help, not necessarily from the state government alone but from all Nigerians, be it south, east, north or west, I just need help.”
