Meet Ene John, Benue-born fast-rising female shoemaker

By Apeh Peterhot

Today, I want to take this special time to introduce to you my little sister from Ichama, Ene John, a 300-Level student at the Mass Communications department, Benue State University.

Ene, as a result of the biting needs of campus life, decided to take to shoe-making to make ends meet. She started the journey about two years ago, and today her self-made shoes can compete effectively with those produced in Italy and the United States. If you look at them closely, you’ll discover that the shoes are manufactured to Harvard standard. However, Ene needs our support to push her business and education to the next level.

She believes in herself and trusted her God to make ends meet as she strives to meet up with the many bills that modern students face on campus. She believes such handwork could help her through her education instead of selling her body to men for cheap articles that often end up in disappointment. She took her training seriously and what she displayed here are all her hand-work.

Ene is soliciting for support from all meaningful Benue sons and daughters and other good-spirited publics to make her business a bigger one that can help sustain her life and possibly provide employment for herself and other unemployed youths that would be willing to take the bull by the horn.

Please, let’s help a sister; let us patronize and promote her.

Any good-spirited public who wishes to lend support can contact me via comment or inbox.

God bless you.
