Her ambition is to own a workshop of her own and employ as many people as possible.
She said she would have been an accountant if she was not a welder, adding that she plans to send her siblings to the higher institution when she starts making money as a welder.
The young lady said:

"I can operate some of the equipment and I've been to Kwara state. I finished secondary school in 2019 and I was at home doing nothing."
She said part of the challenges she faces is handling heavy equipment at the workshp.
