Hajiya Bishiriyya Sagir Garba is the CEO of Party Things World business ventures; a mother, graduate of Computer Science and also holder of a master’s degree in Computer Networking. She is the initiator and operator of the new business venture that deals in all things related to kiddies wares – toys, school items to organizing kid’s events- physically and online.

Bishiriyya said she ventured into the kiddies wares business after careful feasibility studies and market survey of what people needed and how they needed them. “After my graduation as a computer scientist, I proceeded to get my master’s degree from Bayero University Kano. 

I am lucky to have realised early that the issue of not being engaged in white collar job shouldn’t be a deterrent to me in being productive economically. That was how I spent a lot of time studying the business trend that gave birth to Party Things World business venture.

People thought, being a computer scientist, I won’t be able to make it in the business sector. However, I have crossed those huddles and I am proud today to say I have no regret venturing into the business sector,” said Bishiriyya. 

The new business introduced by Bishiriyya involves buying, selling and delivery. According to her, the new business relies 100% on trust and that dealing with kiddies’ wares has to be done with a lot of caution. The business also involves door-to-door delivery based on online shopping and also handling of fragile items. 

She added that most of her wares are advertised and sold through social media.

She further revealed that, women can still be actively engaged in business without owning a shop through the use of social media. “Taking the northern part of this country as an example, a typical northern Nigerian woman need not go out or own a shop in the market to operate a successful business venture; all she needs is a small capital and the platform to advertise.  

According to the CEO she is presently planning to have other women on board based on their various business interest fields. “I have plans to encourage other young women to also use the available platforms in starting their own business empires,” concluded the CEO.
