Yes, I came across paint making during my NYSC. But I didn’t stop at exposure — I built expertise. During my NYSC, I was introduced to paint making and basic formulation.

I moved from the lab to active sites — applying paint colour samples directly on walls to observe coverage, adhesion, finish, and colour behaviour
