The Vice-chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Professor Sulyman Abdulkareem Age said he ventured into pure water and soap making business in the 90s when he returned from his overseas studies and was frustrated out of the enterprise when his marketers didn't return the sales proceeds.

He said his saving grace was one Professor Musibau Akanji who lured him into the journey of academics from where he today became the vice-chancellor of the University of Ilorin stressing that there is the need for perseverance and luck to survive in business.
