Poverty forced me into business - CEO Rock Foundation Tutors

Date: 2017-11-30

The Chief Executive Officer, Rock Foundation Tutors, Mr. Taveshima Jude has said he was forced into business when he could not make ends meet.

He explained that poverty made him take up a business line in the education sector about a decade ago.

"I came down to Ilorin, Kwara State years ago to assist by uncle in managing his paint depot. My uncle later relocated to Ondo and I had to stay back here. His wife maltreated me, so I had to move out of their house to stay on my own.

According to him, he had engage in odd jobs to survive as he faced hardship.

"I got tired of doing odd jobs and decided to organise tutorial classes for O'Level students and admission seekers.

"This is where the strategy lies, I was able to do the coaching in a way that is different from how other people were doing it," he added.

On capital invested into the business, he said " I tell people that this is one of the businesses that the capital you need is knowledge. You don't need physical naira to do it but your intellects should work for the money. So I started with zero naira."

The CEO who engages in teaching, said he is an employer with many people on his payroll.

He, however, called on youths to be creative in identifying problems and initiate the idea of solving societal problems, saying it is the secret of money making.
