I am organizing a charity hair cut which would come up regularly, every IDP camps within FCT and environs will benefit from it including the people residing in Kubwa. With time, the project will span out to other states within the federation. Coming from a struggling background and always having a motivation to give back to the society is the reason why i strive hard to remain on the spotlight.
Furthermore, I plan on establishing a barbing school where students would be given scholarships to learn the art of barbing.

According to him, “my passion is to beautify people and that’s what I love doing, i started crafting unique haircuts from 2012 officially, i served under Akim who thought me well.
At Uptown Barbers, we do things that go beyond clipper blades, we craft using other apparatus like mini knives, cutting combs and scissors. My style and uniqueness makes me standout, no matter how your hair looks, once I touch it, it becomes beautiful, no doubts.
One thing about me is that i hate copycat, all the hair craft style I do comes originally from me. I am the first person that brought write-up barbing to kubwa Abuja.
What motivates me are Prayers, Consistency and responsibility.
