Jos — Shehu Ibrahim Musa has been fixing electrical appliances since 1998 after he graduated from secondary school. Though a physically challenged resulting from poliomyelitis, Shehu is undeterred by his physical disability and social challenges. He works from his mud house in Mai Adiko area of Rayfield in Jos south and says fixing appliances is a gift he inherited from his father. "I fix all electronics such as TV, fans, radios and other electric appliances but I don't fix phones," he told Benue/Plateau Trust.
"After completing my education at Government College Zawan, in Jos South, I didn't go further. I started to fix appliances because it was something my father did. He did not get any formal training on the skill, he was a taxi driver by profession but had the gift of fixing things," he further stated.
