MY NYSC YEAR/EXPERIENCE
After my University Education I was sent by the NYSC to Jos, Plateau state were I served my country at the capacity of a Subject teacher at CDSSJ located in Maxwell Khobe Cantonment.
ANIMAL FARMING EXPERIENCE
Coming home from NYSC, I decided to learn the act of poultry farming as it has been a long holding dream of mine and also part of the business conglomerate I intend to establish in other to provide for myself as well as to provide employment for the youths in my environment. I started with a small number of 20 2 weeks old chicks and grew to rearing 200 birds from day old to table size in a short period of time. This was with the help of a woman in my church at Auta balefi.
Alongside the business of rearing birds, I also had a small business center where I provide services of clerical duties to individuals in my vicinity. At this point I was already good at what I was doing to the point where a cousin of mine God rest his soul, invited me to manage his farm where we rear birds, hatch and rear cat fish, pigs and cows, which I served in the capacity of a General supervisor, supervising every activity in the farm and also serving as the procurement officer, purchasing all items needed in the farm. Need I mention that all feeds used in feeding our live stocked were produced by myself and being that I was also the production manager. I used a formula (KBC) mixed with maize and soymeal in the right proportion to produce the feed which the poultry consume. Also used ingredients like, the PKC, GNC, soymeal, maize, dusa, rice, bone etc. in the right proportion to formulate the pig feed.
SOLAR INSTALLATION AND MAINTAINANCE EXPERIENCE
I also used an opportunity presented by my friend who is the Founder of Krested Vee Power Tech to learn Solar installation and maintenance while working with him. I learnt how design a solar system by first calculating the total and energy consumption of all the appliances, this will inform you of the size of the solar system you will need. After arriving at the size of solar, you will make a survey on where to sit your panels checking the best angel where the sun can hit it perfectly while rising in the morning and setting at night. This and so much more was what I learnt from Mr. Victor Eggan during my time with him.

3.5KVA Smart Inverter, circuit breaker, inverter to NEPA change over and NEPA to GEN change over.
The inverter accepts DC from the solar panel sends it to the house as AC to be consumed and also charges the batteries at the same time. The circuit breaker protects the appliance from any case of overload above the set limit.
200ah batteries
The batteries supplies DC charge to the inverter,the inverter converts to AC and sends it to the house for consumption over the night or when the sun is not exhibit much solar strength.
