Meet the Professional Shoe Shiner

In movers and shakers today, Tony Sanya tells us how Oliver has gone ahead to professionalize an occupation which a few years back was associated with people leaving from hand to mouth, to become a full fledged business with footprints in nearly all the major towns in the country.
