THE LEGACY OF ALHAJI L. A. BAKARE: THE ICONIC ENTREPRENEUR

I KNOW A HUSTLER

(THE LEGACY OF A ICONIC ENTREPRENEUR: ALHAJI L. A. BAKARE)

Written by: Muiz Bakare

I know a hustler.

He started out as a labourer, petroleum pump attendant, ice-cream seller, bakery owner, fish cold-store owner….to building his own multi-million naira petroleum company.

He never stepped foot in a university, nevertheless he employed and managed properly dozens of graduates and professionals.

If you think am a hustler, meet my teacher; my father.

At 74, his undying and persistent love for me to gain higher education makes me ponder, is this for you or for me?

Will I ever say thank you for everything at the long run? Will i? I guess not.

One thing however is the legacy; the words you said that shook me;

“You are not foolish, you are a BAKARE”. - Alhaji L. A. Bakare
