Nkiru Emodi is a graduate of UNIBEN and hails from Onitsha in Anambra State.she is i the CEO of H.O.T Wears also known as (Home Of Theresa) Wears and currently has staff under her payroll.
Her company has participated in numerous expository programmes nationally one of which is the 2nd Lagos Shoe Expo held at the Silverbird Galleria in May last year and she has won awards for her outstanding products like the Nigerian Footwear Industry Awards in 2015.
Nkiru does all this from her home and has personally hand-crafted over 1,500 pairs of footwear ranging from designer shoes for both men and women, loafers, sandals, boots, moccasins, ankle cuff sandals for women, unisex leather belts etc. and it worthy to note that these shoes when spotted on display, one would think they were made outside the country or imported from Europe because of their outstanding finishing and quality designs.
a female entrepreneur who is currently making waves in an industry will see which in the "eyes" of many people an abnormal trade for her gender.
Rather than wait for the government, a rich husband or a "Sugar-Daddy" to improve her life, Nkiru ventured into the Bespoke Shoemaking business which is seen as a male-dominated business about 2 years ago with very little capital and today, she is doing very well and a name to compete with in the shoemaking industry.
