He made this known at the 25th annual Barbers Competition organised by the Lagos State Barbers, Hairdressers and Cosmetologists Association (LABHCA).
"I want you to be proud of your profession because your work is very important. Anyone who wants to look good comes to you irrespective of their profession, be it the president or a senator, they all need the services of a barber. The head is the most important part of the body and before you can appreciate the beauty and style of a person, you start from the head. So never look down on yourself. This competition is what you should be proud of. You all look good. This is an art. The Wahl product is what you can be proud of to ease your skills. We are always here for you," he told the finalists who were judged based on their professionalism, creativity, finishing and handling of tool.
For the grand finale, they were asked to present two styles.
