About the Founder: Yaqub Nasirudeen

With over 30 years of hands-on experienceYaqub Nasirudeen brings unmatched expertise to Nigeria’s leather space. Beginning his journey as a young apprentice in the early 1990s, he went on to study Footwear Manufacturing at the Federal College of Chemical and Leather Technology (CHELTECH), Zaria—now known as NILEST.

His strength lies in pattern creation and finishing, giving him an edge in designing unique leather products. Yaqub has trained hundreds of youth and women, especially during his time as a lead trainer under the MAFITA Program (funded by DFID, UKAID, and Adam Smith International), which equipped over 5,000 individuals across northern Nigeria.

National Recognition and Impact

  • Trained over 700 artisans across Kaduna State

  • Chaired key MAFITA initiatives including Apprenticeship Management Committee and Gender and Business (GAB)

  • Served as Master Trainer for the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) across six Nigerian states

  • Contributed to the development of Nigeria’s National Leather and Leather Products Policy, endorsed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo

His role in fostering entrepreneurship, especially among women and underserved communities, has earned him widespread recognition from both local and international partners.

  • Promoting local content and manufacturing

  • Reducing unemployment through skills training
