“Many are always amazed and impressed especially for the fact that we are corps members and we are selling akara. So they pray and also encourage us to keep pushing.

Oluwatosun revealed that the inspiration to launch their akara business came from their existing fast-food venture in school, which had already proven to be a hit.
“The fact that we were selling fast foods like noodles and egg, bread and egg, etc in school before we left school was one of the things that motivated us and also through inspiration, we just sat down and thought of doing something like that, then, it came true,” she said.
When the media outfit asked if they plan to continue their akara business after their service year, Oluwatosin’s response was a positive one.
“Yes, we would love to continue even after our service year, because there’s no employment anywhere. We just have to create one for ourselves and can in return create for others too, because we can become employers of labour through that, thereby creating an employment opportunities for people,” she said.
