Business ideas in Nigeria's tertiary institutions.


    Want a business idea? well, you have come to the right place. In Nigeria today the whole place is filled with the be your own boss message, and really I think the message is timely and necessary and I think its high time we put to use this advice.
     There are lots of books specifically designed to provide various business ideas, and how you can easily put it to work, for business extensive ideas, you can get any of this books. However I will be focusing more on businesses locked up in our tertiary institutions.
     Nigeria boast of over one hundred universities with over two million students not to talk of other tertiary institutions scattered across the country providing suitable markets for any of your business ideas, for clarity sake, lets enumerate some of the business ideas locked up in our tertiary institutions:
(A)  Food service: there are lots of business opportunities locked up in this area. You can open a fast food retail or mini food centre or even open up a foods store where packaged foods are being sold. You can set this up with little capital, you don’t have to be a millionaire to do this I guess, there are lots of other food related business you can do without breaking into the central bank coffers.
(B)   Clothing and wears: If there is anyplace to package, sell clothing and cosmetic wears I think its in schools, why? the girls wants to draw attention and the guys want to prove that they are big boys. You can tap into this and produce, sell cosmetics of all kind. Aside from cosmetics, cloths and other wears can be made and even sold, aha how about having a cloth making shop or factory whatever you choose to call it and help various departments in producing annual wears or even help students brand their clothes. Well there are lots of money to make packaging and selling wears.
(C)  Entertainment: Students like the social life you know, and who does not want to see the likes of dbanj, 2face or even wizkid performing life. Aside from this students love entertainment, so I think organizing shows, football cups, packaging tours and also you can also have a viewing center showing live premiership matches. How about producing students entertainment magazines, radio stations or even a television shows, well think fast you see there are lots of things to do and lots of money to make so friend tap into this business stream.
                  Sorry hope I am not boring you? There are lots of other biz ideas like having a barbing or beauty saloon, producing and selling stationery, textbooks, and even clothing’s, well the world is full of ideas my friend so get up and get on with them.
               NOTE: I think the best way to get a business to do is by looking inward and finding what you are really passionate about, like your hobbies, passion, likes and others. Don’t do what you don’t like or are not passionate about but look inward and get your real like and passion.
               Thanks for visiting this site and hope to see you again.
