Usman Musa Shittu

Master of weaving, now teaching apprentices

🇳🇬 Gwagwalada, Abuja FCT, Nigeria
The Gwagwalada Shop
Since 2001
English, Hausa, Spanish

I'm a weaving specialist. If you live around Gwagwalada, there's a good chance I've worked in a building near you. Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I always make time for a proper cup of tea. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.

If I fixed something for you, I hope it's still holding.
