IN SHORT

Mallam Bello Mohammed Maccido comes from a traditional ruling family of the Sokoto Caliphate, a background that has instilled in him modesty, integrity, and a desire to not only succeed and give back to his community, but to show others that they too can do the same. “People have to take a long-term view of life as opposed to looking for a shortcut. If you are hardworking and consistent in what you do, you will be successful. The important thing is to determine the career that is right for you. Even if you’re going to be a shoe shiner, you should be the best shoe shiner in the world!”
