Pharmacist Onkojo Kene, founder of Hope pharmacy: Before the pandemic, we were not doing cosmetic and other things that goes with the medication, then when people come they want household items they want other things. After the pandemic, it was necessary to include that. So we had to expand.  
We needed the loan to buy more stuff and to be well stocked up. Because if you look at when we were locked up for the pandemic, we needed to have enough goods because people were at home and then other shops that were not pharmaceutical were closed so we were the only ones available to provide their needs. In that kind of situation, we need more funds to always prepare and then we need to expand as well.
