Usman Rimi, a Medicine and Surgery final year student of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto, UDUS, who ventured into street food selling business due to prolonged ASUU strike, has died.

The death was confirmed to NAN on Saturday by the chairman of 21st Century Entrepreneur Hub, Umar Idris, a close associate of the deceased.

He noted that during Mr Rimi’s leadership, the 21st Century Entrepreneurs Hub in Katsina empowered about 1,000 women and youths on various business skills.

NAN recalled that during an exclusive interview with the deceased on September 9, 2022, he said that the prolonged industrial action embarked by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, gave him the opportunity to begin the food business.

The deceased also told NAN that he utilised the period of the COVID-19 lockdown to start an egg and chicken distribution business.

Mr Rimi had advised students to utilise their free time to engage in businesses, stressing that online services provided a lot of opportunities to leverage on.
