She had been waiting to embark on her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme at the time.
Her mentor, affectionately referred to as “Iya farouk”, had not only taught her valuable skills in tailoring but had also demonstrated kindness, hard work, and a willingness to share knowledge.
The reunion, which took place nine years after the designer had completed her training, was a joyous occasion for both parties.
The designer, accompanied by her husband, was warmly received by her mentor, who was visibly happy to see her former student.
According to the designer, her success in the fashion industry was linked to the skills and values she had acquired during her time under her mentor’s guidance, including a strong work ethic and a willingness to share knowledge.
In her words:
“POV: You visited your boss that you learnt tailoring from in Ile-Ife after nine years. We call her “Iya farouk”. I went to learn from her after my undergraduate studies while waiting for NYSC. This woman is so smart and very very nice. She treated me really well and was always interested in my “relationship matters” back then that is why I decided I was going to visit her with my husband when we went to my hometown for my wedding.
