The visually impaired mechanic, who hails from Agbede, in the Estako West Local Government Area of Edo State, has been fixing cars for over 30 years.
Describing how he works on a regular day to our correspondent, Shuaibu noted that it took regular practice and patience to hone his sensory abilities.
“But to be sincere, sometimes, it is unbelievable how I work on cars and I can easily detect what the owners don’t detect.”In spite of his determination to transcend the limits of his visual impairment, Shuaibu still has to contend with certain challenges. “Some curious people come around just to watch me as I work. Others bring me their cars and as I do the repairs, they are amazed and recommend me to their friends and colleagues at work.”
“When I want to travel to be with my family, I usually go in the company of my friend. Although there are several occasions that warrant me to rely on the kindness of others to cross gutters, board buses, or ensure my safety in public. He added that accommodation and transportation, particularly for the visually impaired are two of the most potent difficulties he had to contend with.
