Photos: Meet Lawan, a blind man who hawks phone accessories in Jos instead of begging

The blind man identified as Lawan was spotted around Trade Fair Complex in Jos, Plateau State, selling phone accessories. Instead of taking to begging like most physically disabled individuals, Lawan decided to hawk chargers and cords in order to make a living. And that is what he has been doing for the past seven years with the help of his son. His son leads him and also identify the denomination of money collected from customers.

Lawan hopes to make enough money to rent a shop of his own in the nearest future.
