Tricycle operators
A young tricyclist (Keke Napep rider) on Tuesday in Damaturu has proudly stated that he makes more money than what a fresh graduate earns as salary.
Bukar Babagana, a tricyclist disclosed in an interview with New Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Damaturu that he averagely made four thousand naira every day.
“Most of the times I make five to six thousand naira, unless am not fit or my vehicle is grounded.
“After all expenses, I save two thousand naira everyday, which is more than what most of the university graduate, who so lucky to be employed, earn as their take home.”
While responding to a question whether he envies other young men that work and earn salaries, Babagana said: “I don’t envy them, sometimes I help some of them.”
He added that “This business is a secret to financial freedom to whoever takes it seriously.”
A significant portion of Nigerian youth have ventured into Keke Napep business due to the fact that it gives them a better option of not staying ideal. (NAN)
