My name is Fatima Usman Haruna I enrolled for the Arts and business course at TAFTA learning center in Kano.

I chose the business option because it aligned with my dream of starting my own business one day and in order to reach that goal, I needed a platform to learn how to write a business proposal, how to source for capital and how to go about getting a business plan. I needed to learn these so that I can create value by identifying business opportunities, creating sellable products and also earn a sustainable income.

The learning process came with several challenges, as some days I don’t even have enough money to even transport myself to the learning center for the business development session but I didn’t give up and continued striving to learn as I needed to have something going on for me.

After the learning and training sessions, I applied for freelance role in a marketing firm and by Allah will I got the job and from my salary I am starting to contribute towards starting my own business.
